Forecasts

Sinister Minister (11/4), Family Pot (10/3), Sir Jack West (4/1), Ben Buie (9/2), The Boat (15/2), Shot Tower (15/2), Hellfire Princess (8/1), Fanzio (50/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is FAMILY POT, who made a winning reappearance last season on the back of a similar period of absence and is just 2 lb above the mark off which he gained the second of his two victories here in February. Sir Jack West should be spot-on following a couple of spins over hurdles and he is feared most ahead of recent Bangor scorer Sinister Minister.

  1. FAMILY POT (FR)
  2. SIR JACK WEST (IRE)
  3. SINISTER MINISTER
