Forecasts

Willie Shake Hands (4/6), Sage Conseil (3/1), Solent Gateway (9/2), Maggies Boy (6/1), Celestial Reign (16/1), Ena's Choice (400/1)

A tricky contest to solve despite the small field but WILLIE SHAKE HANDS has gone down by very narrow margins the last twice, so Sam England's 6-y-o gets the nod to go one better at the expense of Sage Conseil, who left his hurdling debut effort behind when finding just one too good at Roscommon last summer and may have to settle for silver again on return. Maggies Boy looks best of the rest.
