Forecasts

How About No (1/1), Heroes Rise (9/4), Napper Tandy (4/1), Kudasheva (4/1), Head For Home (14/1), La Vega Moon (16/1), Granda George (28/1), Diamond Duke (33/1), Master Of The Sums (50/1), Meadow Soprano (200/1), Barrakilla Vage (200/1), Hellascope (200/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to HEROES RISE, who improved on his hurdling debut form when behind a couple of promising sorts at Kilbeggan last month and promises to do better still. How About No and Kudasheva are feared most in that order.
