Forecasts

The Model Kingdom (7/4), Halibut (9/4), Uncle Phil (7/2), Solness (8/1), Walnut Beach (12/1), Backintheroom (20/1)

The majority of these remain open to improvement, not least THE MODEL KINGDOM, who was 3-3 in bumpers last season and duly landed the odds on hurdles debut last month at Tipperary. She did little wrong when third in a Down Royal Grade 3 subsequently and sets a good standard on that form. Halibut, Uncle Phil and Backintheroom (in that order of preference) are all promising but Walnut Beach is feared most on the back of his pretty decisive success in a Cork handicap recently.
