Forecasts

Meagher's Flag (4/1), Poetic Light (9/2), Harmonyofthestars (9/2), Alcatraz (9/2), Faughill (6/1), Azzuri (7/1), Less Of That (7/1), Faradays Law (8/1), Ace Of Diamonds (10/1), Alhajjaj (33/1), Our Channel (33/1), Magen's Moon (50/1)

MAGEN'S MOON didn't take to hurdling for this trainer over the winter but the best of her Flat form for John Oxx suggests she's got fair claims in this competitive finale. She goes well fresh, has dropped to a nice mark and gets further relief via Oisin Orr's claim. Alcatraz produced a better effort at Cork last time and needs considering while Azzuri is an interesting recruit for Richard O'Brien. Alhajjaj and Meagher's Flag complete the shortlist.
