Forecasts

Oscars Den (3/1), Geneva Barracks (4/1), British Art (11/2), Silver Star (6/1), Mystique Heights (15/2), Wade Harper (11/1), La Bella Vida (12/1), Admiral Brian (16/1), Earl Of Bunnacurry (20/1), Stoneboat Bill (20/1), My Manekineko (20/1), Ashton Court (50/1)

Mystique Heights sprung a shock last month when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Naas over 2m on good ground off a 5lb lower mark beating 18 rivals at odds of 16/1, but that win followed a couple of poor starts in December and cannot be trusted to follow. The High Chaparral gelding may find the consistency of BRITISH ART too much as the seven-year-old seeks to get back to winning ways over hurdles. Geneva Barracks will look to follow up on his win at Naas last month, while Silver Star could go well on return to action.
