Forecasts

Stealthy Tom (6/5), Captain Jimmy (15/2), Top Question (8/1), Echoes Of Family (10/1), Four Country Roads (11/1), Bitview Colin (14/1), Swiss Brid (14/1), Casamari Abbey (14/1), Lessofdnegativity (18/1), Rudy Catrail (20/1), The Lying King (40/1), Change Hill (40/1)

LESSOFDNEGATIVITY is well treated on hurdling form and offered something to work on when third over fences at Sligo 18 days ago, so he gets the nod ahead of Stealthy Tom, who is also lower in the weights over the larger obstacles. Swiss Brid is another one for the shortlist.
