Forecasts

Theatre Man (15/8), Yeats Star (7/2), Hyland (9/2), Moon D'orange (13/2), Bowtogreatness (8/1), Transmission (17/2)

Cases can be made for each member of the sextet but THEATRE MAN is the one with the most persuasive claims. Indeed, he was a solid second to Ginny's Destiny (twice placed in Grade 1 company since) in the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase in January, which is the best chase form on offer here. Yeats Star made a smooth transition to the larger obstacles at Listowel and he is feared most ahead of fellow Irish raider Moon d'Orange and Hyland.
