Thurles 15:15 - w/o Max Meridius

oddschecker Verdict

Successful on the Flat here last month, MAX MERIDIUS makes most appeal. The son of Belardo finished a respectable fifth at Clonmel when last seen over timber and Tom Mullins' charge could make a bold bid in this less competitive affair. Fairyhouse second Liceo remains a maiden over hurdles, although he does arrive on the back of a solid second at Fairyhouse and holds claims on that form, while Punchestown third Arctic Piper and Daisy Fingall also warrant a second look.

Prediction: 1st Max Meridius, 2nd Liceo, 3rd Arctic Piper
