Forecasts

Wingmen (8/15), Forty Coats (7/4), Syracus Du Houx (9/1), Driveonwill (20/1), Duke Of Leggagh (33/1), Interchangeable (33/1), Lygon Lad (50/1), Hearts And Spades (80/1), Shanroe Nancy (150/1), Mackenstownsupreme (150/1), Hei (150/1)

WINGMEN showed smart form in bumpers and can get his hurdling career off to the perfect start before going on to much better things. Forty Coats created a good impression when landing a Naas bumper back in the spring and can provide the main threat.
