Forecasts

Dromore Lad (13/8), Golan Lodge (5/1), Getaway Kid (6/1), Off The Charts (7/1), Seskinane (10/1), Big Bad Brian (11/1), Allez Kal (12/1), Lilywhite Gesture (16/1), Apache Jack (20/1)

Verdict

The returning Big Bad Brian could be the one to make the early running here with possibly Allez Kal and Apache Jack chasing in behind. The Gordon Elliott-trained Lilywhite Gesture returns to hurdling following her last two chasing disappointments and can grab a place with Off The Charts who will look to improve on his eye-catching third last time out at Punchestown. Progressive five-year-old DROMORE LAD can continue his development here.
  1. Dromore Lad
  2. Off The Charts
  3. Lilywhite Gesture
