Forecasts

Bardenstown Lad (85/40), Dragon Bones (10/3), Calagogo (5/1), Onagatheringstorm (8/1), Grace A Vous Enki (9/1), Almazhar Garde (12/1), Siruh Du Lac (12/1), Drumlee Watar (18/1)

SIRUH DU LAC would prove hard to beat if reproducing his smart chase form on a rare outing over hurdles so could be worth chancing back from another lay-off. Dragon Bones has won all of her completed starts over timber and is high on the shortlist on these terms, while Grace A Vous Enki and Bardenstown Lad both remain with potential.
