Forecasts

Largy Hill (1/2), Zaidi (16/5), Kinturk Kalanisi (15/2), Glen Kiln (8/1), Churchroad Prince (12/1), Jasmin De Cotte (16/1), Oscars Brother (25/1), Metalor (50/1), Imperial Fox (200/1), Just Jack (200/1), Asksarcaras (250/1)

Verdict

LARGY HILL shaped well when runner-up to a useful prospect on his hurdling debut at Navan in November and, with the step up in trip expected to suit judged on his pedigree, he's the obvious choice to go one better. Zaidi and Kinturk Kalanisi are considered the main threats.
