Forecasts

Wise Eagle (1/4), Serious Chat (7/2), Tyson Magoo (10/1), Frisby (20/1), Tanking Along (40/1), Myfavouritesister (80/1), Kiss Me D'ex (125/1), Frontier Force (200/1)

Verdict

It's tough to get away from WISE EAGLE, whose easy Musselburgh win last month suggests he can match his useful Flat form over hurdles. Wetherby winner Serious Chat is the obvious danger.

  1. WISE EAGLE (IRE)
  2. SERIOUS CHAT (IRE)
