Forecasts

Glengouly (2/1), Sam's Choice (3/1), Ernie Mccracken (9/2), Monkstreet (13/2), Highlander Casseul (13/2), Helisone (8/1), For Talks Sake (9/1), The Road To Fame (16/1), Western Lad (200/1)

SAM'S CHOICE left his opening hurdles run over an inadequate trip behind when second at Punchestown in November and he looks the one to beat. Glengouly was superior to that rival in bumpers and was still travelling when unseating rider on hurdles bow. This will reveal a lot more.
