Forecasts

We Be Grand (4/5), Mistyburn (6/1), Bridge View Star (13/2), How's The Head (9/1), Kazbek (9/1), Run For The Border (10/1), Easy Doyen (18/1), Three County Star (33/1), Uptaurintop (80/1), Apalachiyeats (200/1)

Verdict

WE BE GRAND ran quite well in a Listowel bumper last month and gets the nod to make a winning start to his hurdle career. Fellow hurdle newcomer Mistyburn has a point win to his name and may provide the main opposition. Run For The Border looks pick of those with hurdle experience.
