Forecasts

Cadoudal Saint (30/100), The Story So Far (3/1), Staffordshire Knot (3/1), Freemans Bay (16/1), Remember'hesmine (25/1), Aclass (25/1), Wilsons Creek (25/1), Barton Snow (40/1), Little Eddie (50/1), Gambling Glory (66/1), Shades Of Tara (150/1)

Verdict

CADOUDAL SAINT won his only start in points and is bred to have enough speed for this sort of test, so he's preferred to Staffordshire Knot, who made a promising hurdling debut at Cork a month ago. The Story So Far is the pick of those with bumper form.

  1. CADOUDAL SAINT (FR)
  2. STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT (IRE)
  3. THE STORY SO FAR (IRE)
