Forecasts

Absurde (2/7), Emily Roebling (7/2), Connors Cross (9/1), Privilege (28/1), How Decc (80/1), Winning Smut (100/1), Ruby Jules (250/1)

Verdict

ABSURDE made up into a smart sort on the Flat in France last year and, having changed hands for €260,000 subsequently, he could be the way to go now his attentions switch to hurdling for his leading NH yard. Connors Cross rates next best, ahead of Emily Roebling.
