Forecasts

Paisley Park (4/1), Lygon Rock (4/1), Byron Flyer (4/1), Haul Away (6/1), Three Musketeers (7/1), Lungarno Palace (8/1), Massini's Trap (9/1), Eaton Hill (16/1), Eamon An Cnoic (18/1), Forecast (25/1), Cool Sky (25/1), Mischievious Max (40/1)

A couple of the leading contenders in Massini’s Trap (past winner of this race) and Byron Flyer have been showing good form on the Flat of late and if they can transfer those performances back into their hurdling careers then they will have a good chance of landing this. Haul Away arrives seeking a five-timer but this will be his stiffest test and he still doesn’t look an easy ride. Eaton Hill has yet to win a handicap but he’s not without hope in this along with Cool Sky who he was behind last time he ran. PAISLEY PARK has shown some class though before finding the 3m test at the Festival too much early in his career but he makes his handicap debut here and should find this more suitable.
