Forecasts

Fox Le Bel (3/1), Rock On Barney (7/2), Crack On Corrie (4/1), The Broom Squire (4/1), Duhallow Paddy (11/2), Avec Espoir (11/2), See Double You (7/1), Our Lucas (11/1), Grey Atlantic Way (12/1), Mosstown Miller (20/1), Captain Cruiser (22/1), Cadawill (25/1)

Any strength behind FOX LE BEL would be hugely significant in a race as weak as this. He's yet to have a hard race over fences and looks fairly treated now switched to handicaps, so he gets the nod ahead of The Broom Squire and Crack on Corrie.
