Forecasts

Divilskin (5/2), Sirekoff (16/5), Aine's Lad (5/1), Little Trilby (8/1), Al Medix (8/1), General Dynamics (8/1), Dinamine (11/1), Another Glendaars (11/1), Impakt St Georges (12/1), Albatala (14/1), Strictly Tango (16/1), Mr Macallum (16/1), Mulroy Bay (16/1), Cowper Hall (28/1), Bababobo (33/1), True Story (33/1), Locorotondo (33/1), Patrol Leader (200/1)

Although DIVILSKIN didn't take to hurdling for Paul Nicholls last autumn the fact he's won 2 points since joining Colin Bowe suggests that he could leave those previous hurdle efforts well behind now. Shark Hanlon's Sirekoff ran well in a claimer last time and may give the selection most to think about. Aine's Lad has hinted at ability in bumpers and could also figure if taking to hurdling.
