Forecasts

Rusty Harkness (5/6), Barnahash Mason (3/1), Haveanothertry (4/1), De Jour En Jour (15/2), How's The Head (12/1), Lakewood Rose (33/1), Black Rock (125/1), Larkfield Liberty (200/1), Aboras Mahler (200/1)

It's hard to look beyond RUSTY HARKNESS, who appeared to find even 2½m an inadequate test at Leopardstown in December and is open to further improvement as his stamina is drawn out. Having caught the eye on hurdling debut, Barnahash Mason made a winning switch to a bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas and he's interesting returning to hurdles, with Haveanothertry taken to fill out third.
