Forecasts

What Path (11/8), Easy Fella (11/4), Present Soldier (3/1), Misty's Gift (8/1), Making Country (12/1), Noble Talent (14/1), Metalor (14/1), Walk In The Dark (20/1), Blackwater Soldier (40/1), Mont Beuvray (50/1), Madhenry (50/1), Joe's Turn (66/1), Daring Sarah (66/1), Dream Jet (100/1), Crafty Rascal (150/1), Ounce Of Gold (200/1), Policy Breaker (200/1), Petite Mike (250/1)

Verdict

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, WHAT PATH was clearly not himself when beaten at short odds on his hurdling debut at Listowel in September. Well worth another chance for his powerful stable, he gets the nod to leave that in his wake and come out on top. Present Soldier rates a likely improver upped to 3m and is the main threat, ahead of Easy Fella. Making Country is another to note.
