Limerick Boy gets the confident vote with Ball O Malt and Do L'enfant D'eau rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair hurdler and is gradually getting the hang of things over the larger obstacles having won well last time out when defeating Dempsey last time out. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he has conditions again to suit and he will be hard to beat,.Ball O Malt rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Waterspray in a similar race but he is prone to bursting blood vessels and for that reason he is opposed. Do L'enfant D'eau is another last time out winner that could go well. He beat Zimbabwe in good style last time out but this looks more competitive and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Visibility is from a top yard and is obviously thought capable of better but he needs to improve to beat the principals. Of the remainder Mistral De La Cour has shown a modicum of ability on soft ground but may find this surface to quick and for the winner we return to Limerick Boy.
