Forecasts

Sole Pretender (2/9), Ferdia (7/2), Custers Mistake (28/1), Clever Currency (40/1), Banjo (50/1)

SOLE PRETENDER was smart over hurdles and made a sparkling chase debut after 7 months off when winning with plenty in hand at Ballinrobe 2 weeks ago. He's likely to prove at least as good in this sphere so should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Ferdia can follow him home.
