Forecasts

Mighty Oak Lad (11/10), One Big Bang (9/2), Mont Saint Vincent (8/1), Jeriko De Baune (10/1), Givehimthehonour (11/1), Duffys Getaway (14/1), Balkito (14/1), Sir Bob (20/1), Wild Hunt (20/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (33/1), Another Nightmare (33/1), Smackwater Jack (50/1)

Verdict

A few of these offer potential, not least Paul Nolan's GIVEHIMTHEHONOUR who teed himself up well for a breakthrough success when a promising third on his handicap bow here last time out. Both One Big Bang and Mighty Oak Lad appeal as likely improvers too and must enter calculations along with the handily-weighted Mont Saint Vincent.

  2. ONE BIG BANG (IRE)
  3. MIGHTY OAK LAD (IRE)
