Forecasts

Easy Game (11/8), Fakir D'Oudairies (7/4), Battleoverdoyen (9/4), Annamix (11/2), Castlegrace Paddy (8/1), Ornua (12/1), Sizing Pottsie (12/1), Snow Falcon (18/1), Best Behavior (33/1)

FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES did best of the rest when runner-up in the Ryanair at the Cheltenham Festival 18 days ago and is the one to beat if not finding this coming too soon. Easy Game and Battleoverdoyen are the main threats on the pick of their form.
