Forecasts

How About No (11/8), Sysko (5/2), Boston Jury (7/2), Jane Eire (9/2), Rapparee Champ (11/2), Southey (11/1), Hungry Rock (20/1), Largy Texas (22/1), Truly Elegant (25/1), Orlando Spirit (33/1), Morell River (33/1), Indication Rocket (100/1), Knowing Me (100/1), Lockeen Gem (100/1), Massabielle (150/1), Largy Mason (150/1)

Verdict

HOW ABOUT NO sets the standard on a brace of runner-up efforts and with blinkers likely to sharpen him up, he can get off the mark. Sysko should have more to offer for Willie Mullins, with Southey completing the shortlist.
