Forecasts

Fast Medicine (7/2), Nottodaybobo (4/1), All In Peder (11/2), Old Port (11/2), Bayou Belle (6/1), Laelaps (13/2), Fox Leicester (7/1), Liberty Flame (11/1), Back To Toledo (11/1), Callie Mannon (16/1), Kalaroun (18/1), Willie The Coo (20/1), Shindilla (25/1), The Border Boy (50/1), Chateau Musar (125/1), Granpa Ger (150/1), Boston Bobby (150/1)

An open-looking maiden with the vote going to FOX LEICESTER, who'll be suited by a return to 2m having failed to stay the extended 18f at Cork on his most recent outing. Old Port will be a big threat if transferring his Flat form over to hurdles at the first attempt, while Bayou Belle and Nottodaybobo are others with claims.
