Forecasts

Half Shot (6/4), No Thanks (7/2), Top Question (11/2), Stucker Hill (7/1), Hell On Earth (10/1), Goulane Jessie (11/1), Doldido (14/1), Kings Halo (16/1), Mister Butler (18/1), Port Rashid (20/1), Galros Jimmy (20/1), Lessofdnegativity (22/1), Casamari Abbey (22/1), I Will Follow (80/1), Our Lucas (125/1)

HALF SHOT's first experience of the larger obstacles wasn't a positive one (brought down at first fence), but he subsequently went close at Clonmel and will have every chance of going one better here if fully applying himself when push comes to shove. Stucker Hill will be a major player if on-song, while Mister Butler and last-time-out hurdles winner No Thanks are others to consider.
