Forecasts

Daddy Long Legs (8/13), Bowensonfire (9/4), Jesse Evans (9/2), King Of Kingsfield (12/1), Barbizon (12/1), Run For Oscar (18/1), Queenofthelodge (25/1)

Verdict

DADDY LONG LEGS has been pretty lightly raced over hurdles of late but looked as if retaining all ability when winning at Ballinrobe in May and can go one better than on his recent Flat spin. Bowensonfire and last year's winner Jesse Evans are most feared.
