Forecasts

City Chief (4/5), Wonderwall (6/4), The Street (10/1), Watergrange Jack (12/1), Lubeat Foras (18/1), Stony Man (40/1), Fine By Me (50/1), Pearly Island (66/1), Third Street (66/1), Sister Michael (80/1), Poet's Corner (100/1), Hors Guard (125/1), Fingal's Hill (150/1), Mixedwave (150/1), Ask The Judge (200/1), Time Please (200/1), C'Mon Sharpy (200/1)

Verdict

WONDERWALL, a useful performer in bumpers, shaped well sent hurdling when runner-up at Newbury last month and would likely have gone even closer had he not made a hash of the last. He's taken to get the better of City Chief, a promising type in his own right, and Irish-bumper winner Watergrange Jack, who merits respect now going hurdling for a new stable.

  1. WONDERWALL (IRE)
