Forecasts

Foreverwalking (1/2), Fishery Lane (1/2), Committee Meeting (4/1), Cyrus Field (9/2), Derby Rock (16/1), Hitthehayson (33/1), Therellbguddaysyet (40/1), Raby Mere (40/1), Famous Sonnet (100/1)

FISHERY LANE was well beaten at Punchestown when last seen but he shaped well both starts prior to that, including when fifth in the 19-runner Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. The 5-y-o is likely to prove hard to beat now switched to hurdles in a race which, with all due respect to his rivals, probably won't take much winning. Stablemate Foreverwalking didn't show much on his Rules debut but is surely capable of better. Committee Meeting and Cyrus Field both have each-way claims.
