Forecasts

Captain Kangaroo (10/11), Envious Editor (13/8), Hes A Hardy Bloke (10/3), Follow The Crowd (20/1), Go All The Way (33/1), Sarsfield Street (40/1), Sienne D'or (66/1), Stone Mason (66/1), Tech Talk (80/1), Justbecool (100/1), The Cool Dude (100/1), Rocco Storm (100/1), Castle Island (125/1), Get Phar (125/1), The Miser (200/1), Gardenia Borget (200/1), Bard Of Eirn (200/1)

Verdict

Bumper winner HES A HARDY BLOKE didn't quite come up to expectations when only third at Down Royal on hurdling debut but that form is proving strong and he should have learned from the experience, so he takes preference over Captain Kangaroo, who also has potential. Envious Editor is the only other realistic player.

  1. HES A HARDY BLOKE (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN KANGAROO (IRE)
  3. ENVIOUS EDITOR (IRE)
