Forecasts

Gaspard Du Seuil (5/4), Homme D'Un Soir (13/8), Five Helmets (9/2), Hazran (14/1), Old Durham Town (16/1), Get My Drift (25/1), Womalko (40/1), Pictures Of Home (40/1), Royal Rhythm (66/1), Sand And Water (80/1), Comeback Tiep (200/1)

FIVE HELMETS developed into a fairy useful sort on the level in Britain and is related to plenty of winners over jumps. He's joined a good in-form stable and could make his mark first time up in this sphere. Gaspard du Seuil was well fancied and made a decent-enough start over hurdles at Punchestown and should build on that. Homme d'un Soir is an obvious type for jumping for top connections.
