Forecasts

Sam's Choice (8/13), Call Me Harry (4/1), Home Sweet Highway (13/2), Step Above (12/1), Hattons Gardens (16/1), Duke Of Deception (28/1), San Miguel (33/1), Master Of The Malt (150/1), Bolt Man (150/1)

Verdict

SAM'S CHOICE was no match for a couple of useful prospects at Galway 10 days ago and could be hard to beat judged on the pick of his hurdles form in Ireland. Home Sweet Highway is interesting on debut for Donald McCain, as is Irish point winner Step Above for Lucinda Russell.

  1. SAM'S CHOICE (IRE)
  2. HOME SWEET HIGHWAY (IRE)
  3. STEP ABOVE (IRE)
