Forecasts

Stuntman Steve (11/4), Batman Girac (7/2), Last Kingdom (7/2), Must Meet Cecil (13/2), First Dare (9/1), Fast Felix (14/1), Come On The Lads (16/1), Shanroe (16/1), Frankendael (18/1)

This quite useful handicap can go the way of LAST KINGDOM, who should have more to offer on the back of his Fairyhouse win from the reopposing Stuntman Steve. The latter's stablemate Come On The Lads appeals as one who can do better over hurdles now handicapping and is second choice ahead of Must Meet Cecil.
