Forecasts

Dani Donadoni (2/5), Doctor Elvis (16/5), Jack The Lad (6/1), Freddie's Back (9/1), Orchard Cross (33/1), Poet's Gale (50/1), Theran (150/1), Lord De Choisel (200/1), Jenny's Bar (250/1)

Verdict

DANI DONADONI would've finished closer but for suffering interference from the winner late on at Punchestown last month and this bumper winner is taken to open his hurdles account. Doctor Elvis is the clear main danger, ahead of Freddie's Back and Jack The Lad, both of whom are open to improvement.

  1. DANI DONADONI (IRE)
  2. DOCTOR ELVIS (FR)
  3. FREDDIE'S BACK (IRE)
