Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	—	Catchabird (M) [H] Landed 2m Wexford maiden before following up in 12-runner handicap at Navan (2m, soft) 40 days ago. This is a tough ask, though.	Aidan Kelly	Ms S J Connell	8	73 kg	29 28/1
2nd	2	—	Alliteration (M) [PT] Improving sort who was fitted with cheekpieces and a tongue strap when landing 2m Fairyhouse maiden recently. Thriving but this demands a clear personal best.	Keith Donoghue	J P Dempsey	5	71.7 kg	11 10/1
—	3	—	Blue Velvet (M) Bagged 19f maiden here in January but was pulled up in Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last time. Needs to bounce back but this is much easier at least.	Jack Kennedy	W P Mullins	6	71.7 kg	11 10/1
4th	4	—	Diamond Du Berlais (M) [T] Useful ex-French hurdler. Made a winning start for current yard at Ludlow in February and backed it up with a very good sixth of 22 to White Noise in Dawn Run at Cheltenham (17f, good) 49 days ago. The clear form pick.	Mr P W Mullins	W P Mullins	5	71.7 kg	2.75 7/4
3rd	5	—	Future Prospect (M) FAV [H] Useful bumper winner who made a winning start over hurdles in 2m Naas maiden in January. Good fourth of 11 in Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last time so she's a likely player.	Paul Townend	W P Mullins	6	71.7 kg	1.91 10/11
1st	6	—	Adrienne (F) Scored at Fairyhouse in November and back on track with fourth of 9 in Percy Maynard Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope.	Darragh O'Keeffe	T M Walsh	4	68 kg	8.50 15/2

Betting forecast: Future Prospect (10/11), Diamond Du Berlais (7/4), Adrienne (15/2), Alliteration (10/1), Blue Velvet (10/1), Catchabird (28/1)
