Forecasts

Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa (1/1), Western Walk (13/8), Fantasio D'alene (5/1), Ebenezer Scrooge (10/1), Cozone (12/1), Patsy's Honour (16/1), Wee Jerry (50/1), Jollie Cosmos (50/1), Jinxs Link (50/1), Stormy Glenn (125/1), Farceur De Sivola (150/1)

JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA impressed with the way he went through the race when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Down Royal on Boxing Day and is a straightforward choice to go one better with improvement on the cards. Western Walk is feared most ahead of Patsy's Honour.
