Forecasts

Donnacha (15/8), Spirits Bay (2/1), Moorefields (4/1), Koenigsstern (8/1), Heure De Gloire (9/1), Vernon Subutex (50/1), Hard Rain (66/1)

Although SPIRITS BAY wasn't that impressive when landing short odds in a C&D novice a fortnight ago the form of his first 2 efforts over hurdles suggest an opening mark of 118 could underestimate him. Donnacha should find this easier than last month's Betfair Hurdle and is second choice ahead of Koenigsstern.
