Forecasts

Mason Jar (8/11), Zyon (7/4), House Island (2/1), Top Man (14/1), Shah An Shah (14/1), Mister Murchan (20/1)

The recent Uttoxeter maiden winner Mason Jar faces a stiffer task under a penalty, while Zyon has clearly taken time to develop for Paul Nicholls. Therefore, the more appealing option is probably the Paul Webber-trained HOUSE ISLAND who was a surprise 40-1 winner of a Listed bumper at Newbury in March. Nevertheless that opinion could be swayed should a barrage of market support arrive for the Nicholls-trained hurdling debutant.
