Forecasts

Duke Silver (5/4), Mordor (11/8), Toll Stone (9/1), Roboreti (12/1), Noble Hilltop (16/1), Leading Lion (25/1), Firebrand (33/1), Inthenickoftime (33/1), Arch Hall (50/1), Rauzan (80/1), Leitrim Rock (125/1), So Messi (150/1), Medadthebookie (150/1)

Verdict

MORDOR showed enough on hurdling debut to think he's capable of winning a race of this nature and, for all that he shaped as if amiss since, he's well worth another chance. Duke Silver is well bred and represents a top yard, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of Firebrand.

  2. DUKE SILVER (IRE)
  3. FIREBRAND (GER)
