Forecasts

Leave Of Absence (8/11), Blow Your Wad (10/3), Rambo T (7/1), Invincible Nao (10/1), Holetown Hero (14/1), Fancy Stuff (40/1), Dance At Night (66/1), Hector Jaguen (80/1), Mister Mose (100/1), Goguenard (100/1)

Verdict

LEAVE OF ABSENCE was the best of these in bumpers and makes his hurdling debut with his yard amongst the winners, so he's a very appealing candidate. Invincible Nao made all in good style at Auteuil in April and is open to further improvement for the Moores, while Blow Your Wad and Rambo T are others to take seriously given their bumper exploits.

  1. LEAVE OF ABSENCE (FR)
  2. INVINCIBLE NAO (FR)
  3. BLOW YOUR WAD (IRE)
