Verdict

CODED WELDER has been leaving his backers disappointed but this looks a great opportunity for him to open his account judged on his form in handicaps. Majestic Horizon is the obvious danger, with Ritz Plan having a bit to prove.

2	Has been strong in the betting on all 4 runs for new yard this season, running to a fair level in handicap hurdles before an underwhelming debut over fences at Tramore. This is a weak maiden and he must surely be a big player under good conditional. 1st Pick 2 Coded Welder (Ire) Jockey: Kevin Healy Trainer: Cian Michael Collins, Ireland J: Kevin Healy T: Cian Michael Collins, Ireland	100	-	-	-	56%

5	€45,000 3-y-o by Wings of Eagles. Half-brother to dual bumper winner/smart 2m hurdle winner Dark Raven. Successful sole start in point. Improved from Rules debut when third in a bumper here in late-May. This could be a good opening for his first go over hurdles. 2nd Pick 5 Majestic Horizon (Ire) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: P. J.

10	Consistent in academy hurdles last winter, finishing second of 14 at Naas on final start for Joseph O'Brien. It's been a rather underwhelming start in maiden hurdles for new yard this summer, however. Steps up in trip with cheekpieces on now. 3rd Pick 10 Ritz Plan (Ire) Jockey: J. J.
