Forecasts

Boothen Boy (4/5), Dads Lad (9/2), Alexharwill (5/1), Derracrin (11/2), Good Morning Utah (11/1), Duffys Hodey (50/1), Aghinagh (100/1), Lough Swilly Pearl (150/1), Top Basanta (200/1)

Verdict

BOOTHEN BOY is the clear pick judged on his debut second in a Navan maiden hurdle in March. He failed to make much of an impact in a listed bumper at Limerick later that month, but improvement should be forthcoming back in this sphere. Stablemate Good Morning Utah needs a second look in the betting, but Boothen Boy may have most to fear from the Willie Mullins-trained duo, Derracrin and Dads Lad.

  1. BOOTHEN BOY (IRE)
  2. DERRACRIN
  3. DADS LAD (IRE)
