Forecasts

Capodanno (6/4), Getaway Pat (11/4), Kilcruit (11/4), Dreamingandhoping (16/5), Eilise's A Lady (4/1), Moonlight Symphony (16/1), Mr Bercow (33/1), Claire's Charm (33/1), Four Horsemen (33/1), Pepite De Belle (40/1), Dalileo (40/1), Match My Fire (66/1), Strong Roots (66/1), Goule Piatte (250/1), No Way Pedro (250/1), Opie Houdini (250/1), Jaksporter (250/1)

CAPODANNO showed ability when second in a newcomers event on his only outing over hurdles in France, and is surely capable of better having joined Willie Mullins, so he makes plenty of appeal. Getaway Pat and Dreamingandhoping are fancied to emerge as the chief threats.
