Forecasts

Longclaw (7/4), Charlie Bassett (15/8), Scholastic (9/2), Sister Eliza (11/2), Yulong Voice (28/1), Poets Touch (33/1), Varna Gold (50/1)

CHARLIE BASSETT is the best of these on the Flat and should take to this new discipline, so he's taken to make a winning hurdling debut at the likely expense of Longclaw, who was already getting on top when left in front at the last at Roscommon. Scholastic also warrants consideration.
