Forecasts

Marco Du Seuil (7/4), Joe Cool (10/3), Jerry From Kerry (7/2), Sea Eagle (4/1), Silken Thomas (5/1), Western Princess (6/1), Crystabel (10/1), Humble Berkshire (50/1), Ellens Pride (66/1), Alentejo (80/1), Lady Felicia (100/1), Saith Seren (100/1), Colugo (125/1), Laligurash (150/1), Ancient Myth (150/1), Little Big John (150/1), Tullyegan Jet (300/1), Blinding Light (500/1)

The betting should reveal plenty but the vote goes to MARCO DU SEUIL who bagged a Grade 3 bumper in France last summer on his sole outing and looks an interesting newcomer to this sphere for Gordon Elliott. Sea Eagle is the pick of those with hurdling experience and rates a big threat. Debutante Joe Cool brings potential from the Flat and needs considering along with the returning Western Princess.
