Forecasts

Pakens Rock (10/3), The Echo Boy (7/2), Whatsafellatodo (5/1), Charlie Stout (5/1), Bay Ambition (6/1), Midnight Maestro (10/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (11/1), Nobody Home (18/1)

Verdict

THE ECHO BOY had a bit to spare over a next-time-out hurdle winner at Kilbeggan last time and an 8 lb rise may not prevent him following up. Charlie Stout backed up his Wexford win in March when fourth at Fairyhouse over Easter and is second choice ahead of Pakens Rock.
