Forecasts

Hook Up (10/11), Gigolo' Dai Dai (3/1), Gars De Sceaux (10/3), Legacy Thor (7/1), Que Famoso (20/1), Mighty Meggsie (28/1), John Cannon (33/1), Dromod Lad (33/1), Champagne Paddy (100/1), Two For The Road (100/1), Dympnas Well (150/1), Tom McGreevy (200/1), He'sthewon (300/1), Tempo Chapter Two (400/1), War God (400/1), Street Value (400/1), Alexharwill (400/1), Only For Pascal (400/1), Milestone Girl (400/1)

Only a handful make any serious appeal, with HOOK UP getting the vote to gain her first win on these shores and build on her highly promising hurdling debut third at the second attempt. Gars de Sceaux, Gigolo' Dai Dai and Que Famoso are a trio of interesting newcomers representing leading yards and the market should guide expectations.
