Forecasts

Seabank Bistro (4/6), Monbeg Park (9/4), Will Do (6/1), Top Speed (12/1), Silver King (40/1), Camino Rock (50/1), A Fortune Out West (50/1), Winter Carnival (66/1), Happy Birthday (66/1), Cocoplum (100/1), Stone Mad (100/1), Doyen Wolf (150/1), Jimli's Glory (300/1)

Willie Mullins' SEABANK BISTRO came home a fine fourth behind stablemate Facile Vega in Cheltenham's Champion Bumper and is fancied to become another winner to emerge from that contest now he starts out over hurdles. Monbeg Park holds the clear edge of those with experience in this sphere and is next on the list, although other newcomers Top Speed and Will Do bring plenty of potential and can't be dismissed.
