Forecasts

Champion Green (5/4), Happywifehappylife (11/4), Doctor Churchill (4/1), Baron Wild (8/1), Chacha Dancer (16/1), Global Export (16/1), Grand Revival (16/1), Plough On (20/1), Kojin (20/1), Dutch Schaefer (28/1), Hillsin (50/1), Erin's Storm (50/1), Go Large (80/1), Lady Sands (125/1), Duke Otto (150/1), Dixon Line (200/1), Charlie's Yard (200/1)

Verdict

CHAMPION GREEN sets a decent standard following his solid fourth at Cork three weeks ago. Coupled with his Flat form prior to that, it's difficult to look elsewhere. Doctor Churchill may build on his hurdles debut to play a part. Happywifehappylife isn't out of it on her hurdles debut either.
