Forecasts

Kiss Will (4/11), Hello Jack (4/1), Sionainn (7/1), Costacurta (8/1), Small Doses (28/1), Lambay Island (33/1), Glens Sensation (33/1), Ri An Chnoic (40/1), Fool Me Once (66/1), Knockraha Eagle (150/1), Quinn The Eskimo (150/1), Fourcardrun (200/1), Tizonlyadream (250/1)

Verdict

KISS WILL showed plenty in a bumper on his only French outing 16 months ago and his new yard has a tremendous record with similar types, so he gets the narrow vote over Hello Jack, who arrives on the back of a promising hurdling debut. Sionainn looks the pick of the newcomers on pedigree.

  1. KISS WILL (FR)
  2. HELLO JACK (IRE)
  3. SIONAINN (FR)
