Forecasts

Au Fleuron (8/13), Bust Or Bray Dee (6/1), Noah's Light (13/2), Hans Gruber (8/1), Getupthemstairs (10/1), Leish Oscars Son (20/1), Dawn Of The West (22/1), Dartan (33/1), I Am Spider Man (33/1), Yenillik (150/1), Son Of Tully (200/1), A Cheap Thrill (200/1), Kingoftheroses (200/1), Reflectionist (250/1), Petrocco (250/1)

AU FLEURON looked a good prospect when winning a bumper at Tipperary in March and was subsequently sold for £220,000 later that month. He can make a winning start over hurdles for Gordon Elliott at the main expense of his stablemate Bust or Bray Dee, who showed plenty to work on when runner-up on his hurdles bow at Gowran. Noah's Light and Hans Gruber are others to consider.
