Forecasts

Perceval Legallois (4/6), Westcoastinformant (7/2), The Grey Monty (15/2), Glendaars Star (15/2), Light Bringer (14/1), Some Woman (18/1), Ashlia Dancer (20/1), Born Famous (28/1), Stellar Symphony (50/1), Two Meter Rule (66/1), Easter Recital (100/1), Shifted Strategy (125/1)

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS has the best form and can gain compensation for his late unseat here last month. Gordon Elliott's Westcoastinformant can build on his Punchestown hurdle debut fifth and pose the chief threat ahead of Light Bringer. The Grey Monty should benefit from the longer trip and could leave her hurdle debut run behind.
