Forecasts

Kansas City Chief (7/2), Sutton Manor (9/2), Inch Rise (6/1), Kilcrea Bridge (6/1), Venitien De Mai (13/2), Go It Alone (7/1), Hollow Tree (12/1), Our Vinnie (12/1), I'm All You Need (16/1), Kilcarry Bridge (20/1)

Verdict

SUTTON MANOR found only Isleofhopendreams too strong last time around Leopardstown. That is fair form and from just a 4lb higher mark, he looks very capable of gaining some compensation in this contest. Kansas City Chief is very much respected off his lowly hurdles mark given his most recent effort over fences and has a clear chance if running to the same level. Go It Alone should be on the premises upped in trip while Venitien De Mai and Kilcrea Bridge are two to consider on handicap hurdle debuts. Kilcarry Bridge, a winner here over fences in November, is also on the shortlist. 1. Sutton Manor 2. Kansas City Chief 3. Kilcarry Bridge
