Forecasts

An Tobar (8/13), St Cuthbert's Cave (9/4), New York Style (11/4), Champagne Admiral (5/1), Viceregent (16/1), Solo Flight (25/1), Solly Attwell (33/1), Matthews Hill (50/1), Beer With The Boys (66/1), Another Red Cat (80/1), Roderick (150/1), It's Never Simple (150/1), Superdermo (150/1), Mini Getaway (150/1), Lady Goliath (200/1), Fly With Me Chik (200/1), Beeverstown Place (200/1)

ST CUTHBERT'S ROAD has switched to Gordon Elliott since making a winning bumper debut in the spring and gets the nod to do likewise over hurdles, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Henry De Bromhead pair New York Style and An Tobar are other interesting recruits to the hurdle ranks, while Viceregent, who has changed hands since a Flat success at Navan last month, looks pick of those with hurdle experience.
