Forecasts

Return Fire (7/4), Court At Slip (15/8), Twoshotsoftequila (2/1), Dragonfruit (4/1), Hitman Fred (5/1), Flying Verse (11/2), Loughermore (10/1), Follow Your Arrow (12/1)

Verdict

Had he not lost momentum at the final fence at Sedgefield, TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA probably would have won and, with further progress likely, compensation awaits here. Next on the list is Loughermore, who shaped pretty encouragingly over hurdles last time and he resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark. Hitman Fred's latest effort needs forgiving but if he puts his best foot forward he will be in with a fighting chance.

  1. TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA (IRE)
  2. LOUGHERMORE (IRE)
  3. HITMAN FRED (IRE)
