Forecasts

Finnthemagician (1/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (2/1), Favorite Moon (11/4), No Trouble (11/2), Will You Win (8/1), L'or Des Roses (16/1), Dunleer Phoenix (18/1), Carraig Gorm (20/1), Bookem Danno (33/1), Gold Haven (33/1), Roman Parish (40/1), Sholsang (40/1), Dr Val (50/1), Celine Man (80/1), Blossom De Mai (80/1), Finsceal Na Mara (100/1), Eat My Dust (100/1), Lily Bianca (150/1)

Verdict

Given FAVOURITE MOON's Flat ability, there's surely more to come from his as a hurdler so he's just about the most persuasive option. Finnthemagician would have gone close but for a late fall on hurdles debut and is feared, along with Evenwood Sonofagun.

  1. FAVORITE MOON (GER)
  2. FINNTHEMAGICIAN (IRE)
  3. EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN (IRE)
