Forecasts

Trooper Turnbull (8/11), Honda Fifty (7/2), Esme Shelby (9/2), Donladd (8/1), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (18/1), Any Job Will Do (66/1), The Electrician (150/1), Fernhill Lad (200/1)

Verdict

This looks to revolve around TROOPER TURNBULL, who stepped up from his hurdling debut 10 months on when narrowly going down by a short head over C&D in October. With the promise of better to come, he should take all the beating. Esme Shelby and Honda Fifty should both improve on their initial efforts over timber and can chase the selection home in that order.

  1. TROOPER TURNBULL (IRE)
  2. ESME SHELBY (IRE)
  3. HONDA FIFTY (IRE)
