Forecasts

Hypersonic Missile (9/2), Dinoland (11/2), Menindee (6/1), Hunting Brook (6/1), Solly Attwell (15/2), Housemartin (8/1), Dr Val (10/1), Bigz Belief (16/1), Il Silenzio (16/1), Squire Ohara (18/1), Duty Bound (20/1), Getabelle (20/1), Mustameet Secret (22/1), Quite Incredible (25/1), Wa Wa (33/1), Fill The Tank (33/1), The Rebel County (33/1), Kincade (33/1), Riggs (33/1)

Gordon Elliott's HUNTING BROOK comes here on the back of a good first effort over fences at Kilbeggan and can go one better returned to this sphere. Hypersonic Missile is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although Dr Val, Squire Ohara and The Rebel County all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
