Forecasts

Saint Leo (3/1), Drumconnor Lad (7/2), Ardera Cross (4/1), Flowery (13/2), Protek Des Flos (13/2), Clan Legend (8/1), Pistol Park (16/1), Zolfo (16/1)

Verdict

Very competitive with none ruled out, DRUMCONNOR LAD selected following a pipe-opener over hurdles. He took his form to a new level over fences last season and has the services of cracking 7 lb conditional Kevin Brogan here. Flowery and Zolfo were both thriving when last seen, while last year's scorer Ardera Cross wouldn't be a surprising winner again at bigger odds.
