Forecasts

Eskylane (8/11), Barbary Master (7/2), Charcor (13/2), Buddy Rich (15/2), Guiri (14/1), Gabynako (18/1), Irascible (20/1), Bachelor (20/1), Highstreet Roller (33/1), Karawaan (40/1), Lady Moyra (66/1), White Desert (80/1), Miracles In May (150/1), Pani Problem (150/1), Forty One Winks (150/1), Ballywilliam Boy (200/1), She's All Vintage (200/1), Give Me A Moment (200/1), Morning Glisten (250/1), Next Train's Gone (300/1), Mister Saxman (300/1)

ESKYLANE really impressed with the way he travelled when fifth in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and has to be marked down as an exciting recruit to hurdling. Barbary Master is another who should make his mark over hurdles this season, while Buddy Rich may have a say on his return if bouncing back to his debut form in this sphere in a first-time hood.
