Forecasts

Eloi Du Puy (3/1), Bushmill Boy (10/3), R S Ambush (7/2), Easter Junction (4/1), Lisloran (9/1), Boyneside (12/1), Broadford Publican (18/1), Bollin Matilda (28/1)

Verdict

ELOI DU PUY has had the form of his latest Kelso win boosted by the runner-up going in since so a further 5 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick. The unexposed Easter Junction is a potentially dangerous opponent for the Donald McCain team. R S Ambush is another who hasn't got many miles on the clock.
