Forecasts

Sequoiaspirit (5/4), Charlie Luciano (5/2), Prioritise (9/2), Zettabyte (11/1), Hans Gruber (16/1), Starman (16/1), Val The Man (25/1), Monoxide (28/1), Carslake (66/1)

Verdict

SEQUOIASPIRIT looked better than ever when comfortably scoring on the Flat at Roscommon last time so is taken to translate fhat form back to this sphere and open his hurdling account. Prioritise also comes here on the back of a win on the level at the same track and merits serious consideration too. Zettabyte and Charlie Luciano also need factoring into an intriguing contest.
