Forecasts

Moyganny Phil (6/4), Looping D'arc (9/4), Big Wigg (7/2), Aim Straight (8/1), Escort'kheops (17/2), Sutherland (16/1), Le Fabuleux Buck's (66/1), Vinnie O'Neil (80/1), Sugar Road (100/1), Roland Garros (150/1), Manhattan Valley (150/1), Littletown Lad (150/1), River Glance (250/1), Lunar Lily (300/1)

Highly likely this will go the way of a hurdles newcomer, with LOOPING D'ARC marginally preferred in favour of bumper scorer Big Wigg. Market support for Moyganny Phil would look significant, though.
