Forecasts

Bell Ex One (4/5), Laishann (3/1), Calvados (9/2), Sea Sessions (11/2), Whyzzat (28/1), Mankhool (66/1), Bullock Park (200/1), Slay The Dragon (200/1), Vodka Warlord (200/1), My Friend Fred (200/1), Captain Clever (200/1), Luz Long (250/1)

BELL EX ONE isn't the finished article in terms of his jumping, but he had something to spare when scoring at Listowel 23 days ago and this race doesn't look any stronger, so he's taken to follow up at the likely expense of Calvados, who is closely matched on form. Laishann is the pick of the hurdling debutants.
