Forecasts

Massey's Wood (11/4), Thatsy (7/2), Benruben (4/1), Best Behavior (9/2), Goulane Chosen (17/2), Itsalonglongroad (10/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (14/1), Monstrosity (16/1), Shumaker (16/1)

Verdict

This looks easier than the big-field novice handicap BENRUBEN contested at Fairyhouse over Easter so he's possibly the way to go. Goulane Chosen will be a threat if able to reproduce the form he showed when scoring easily at Cork 4 weeks ago. Itsalonglongroad is building up a decent record over fences and is also respected.
