Forecasts

Inniscastle Lad (7/4), Hello Fellas (4/1), Baracalu (6/1), Blottos (8/1), Desert Ruler (10/1), Red Ochre (12/1), Dutch Artist (12/1), Adherence (16/1), Almunther (25/1), Dream Free (25/1), Motley Crew (33/1), Kilcullen Lady (50/1)

Verdict

There is little doubt that INNISCASTLE LAD has the best form over hurdles in this lineup. His latest third was a very good effort and but for a mistake at the last he would have gone even closer and maybe even won. Baraculu is a danger. He could prove much better than his hurdles debut showing and his Hexham bumper win by 30L shows the ability is there. The best of these on the flat was Desert Ruler and he could go well on his hurdles bow.
  1. Inniscastle Lad
  2. Baracalu
  3. Desert Ruler
