Forecasts

Pulse Of Shanghai (7/4), Hero Of The Hour (7/2), Teddy Boy (7/2), Wooden Head (7/2), My Little Tip (5/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (6/1), Eglish (13/2), Kuwait Direction (10/1), Sister Lola (10/1), Lockdown (16/1), Adams Barbour (18/1), Catherine Chroi (18/1), Miltonia (20/1), Darcy's Rock (25/1), Empress Of Bough (33/1), Ever Rock (33/1), Eruption (50/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but the vote goes to WOODEN HEAD who can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good C&D fourth last time and remains with few miles on the clock. Multiple course winner Pulse of Shanghai is feared most on the back of his good Navan second, ahead of the handily-weighted Zig Zag Zyggy and course specialist Adams Barbour.
