Forecasts

Jasmin De Cotte (2/1), Theonewedreamof (11/2), Clifftop (11/2), Emily In Paris (15/2), Hunting Brook (8/1), Hard Target (11/1), Warm In Gorey (12/1), Irish Envoy (20/1), The Lucky Lobster (22/1), Thunder (22/1), Banada Bridge (25/1), Dragon's Pass (28/1), Iron Allen (33/1), Perfect Pupil (50/1), Lucky Policy (50/1), Rock On Pedro (50/1), Aurea Fortuna (100/1)

JAMSIN DE COTTE left his hurdles form trailing in his wake when third at Down Royal a month ago and he'll take some stopping on that evidence. Clifftop is second choice, with Hunting Brook perhaps the pick of the chase debutants.
