Forecasts

Verdict

LOOKAWAY showed smart form when winning both his starts in bumpers last season, notably a Grade 2 at Aintree in April, and he's very much cut out for hurdling. Get Up Mush caught the eye when third at Carlisle and is feared, while Ernest Gray also showed plenty in bumpers and is respected in what looks a hot novice.

  1. LOOKAWAY (IRE)
  2. GET UP MUSH (IRE)
  3. ERNEST GRAY (IRE)
