Verdict
FORGE ROAD does most of his racing at Dundalk where he's rarely beaten far. He came from a long way back to finish third there last week and holds Hammersmith, Nusra and Lusis Naturea on that run. Hattie Amarin hasn't had much racing but won on the Flat and over hurdles last summer. The lack of a recent run is a concern but she has to be on the shortlist. Aunty Audrey has won three times here including this a year ago so she shouldn't be dismissed but Breffni Girl has plenty of weight for her handicap debut.
