Forecasts

Young Jack (4/5), Defence Witness (3/1), Goldwyn (7/2), Lucky Soldier (22/1), Parelliroc (28/1), Mr Mahler (28/1), Kingofthegame (33/1), Zuul (80/1), Regal And Royal (100/1), Grand Mario (250/1)

But for a bad mistake at the second-last YOUNG JACK may well have made a winning hurdles debut here in December and, with improvement on the cards, he is the clear pick. Goldwyn looks the one most likely to make a race of it with the selection, while Defence Witness and Mr Mahler can do battle for minor honours.
