Forecasts

The Friday Man (4/7), Desertmore House (10/3), Au Fleuron (15/2), Gali Flight (10/1), Whatsavailable (12/1), Sky Sprinter (14/1), Papal Lodge (28/1), Summer Tide (33/1), Riggs (33/1), Doctor Churchill (40/1), Rust To Riches (66/1), Finding Freedom (125/1), Bessy Bradley (125/1)

THE FRIDAY MAN has taken pretty well to fences and can get off the mark now stepping up to 3m+ for the first time. Desertmore House ran a cracker in a handicap hurdle here last time and could pose the chief threat if taking to this new discipline. The selection's stablemate Au Fleuron had an excuse for his no show on his chase debut last autumn and could also play a part, while the returning Willie Mullins runner Sky Sprinter needs a betting check.
