Forecasts

Mr Jackman (4/9), Gibberwell (16/5), Hardwired (9/1), Saga Aravis (10/1), Grange Island (10/1), Crackaway (11/1), Galon De Vauzelle (16/1), Rock Of Tuskar (33/1), Sand And Water (33/1), Clonbury Bridge (50/1), Shean Glory (50/1), Lead Light To Dawn (50/1), Globetrottersivola (80/1), Lynden Tree (150/1)

Having won both starts in bumpers, MR JACKMAN came up a head shy of the hat-trick on hurdles bow at Punchestown a month ago and with the winner advertising the form in no uncertain terms since, he's a strong fancy. Gibberwell also finished second on debut over obstacles and can chase the selection home.
