Forecasts

Eachtotheirown (6/4), Shuttle Diplomacy (7/4), King's Bucks (10/3), Firebrand (9/1), Centreofattention (14/1), West Of Bally (28/1), Treasure Memory (33/1), Deanery Charlie (40/1), Get Your Coat (50/1), Edge Of Darkness (50/1), Venturevango (66/1), Jumble Light (80/1), Diamond Island (80/1), Twilight Story (200/1), Grivei (250/1), Premier Banner (250/1)

Point winner KING'S BUCKS wasn't able to get to grips with one from the Willie Mullins yard on his Rules debut at Gowran, but that was nevertheless a promising start to his career under Rules and he is taken to make a winning hurdles debut. Shuttle Diplomacy is a much-respected main danger given his form in bumpers, while Eachtotheirown, who showed plenty in bumpers himself, is best of the rest ahead of Firebrand.
