Forecasts

Yeah Man (11/10), Potters Party (7/2), Japers Jack (11/2), Fantasio D'alene (6/1), Ebenezer Scrooge (8/1), Dinoland (10/1), Rowdy Romeo (14/1), Karuma Grey (16/1), Connors Cross (33/1), Silver Gazette (40/1), Calazure (50/1), Glenabbey (50/1), Jet Setting Johnny (66/1), Monza Man (150/1), Depeche Mo (200/1), Smiths Sister (250/1), Design Flaw (250/1), Ounce Of Gold (250/1)

Verdict

In an open-looking maiden POTTERS PARTY might be worth another chance to confirm the promise of his hurdle debut third as that form has been boosted by the winner and second since. Yeah Man has made a good start to his hurdle career in recent months and is feared most ahead of Willie Mullins hurdle newcomer Dinoland.
