Forecasts

Easywork (8/11), Embittered (10/3), Le Musigny (5/1), Port Stanley (14/1), Dlauro (14/1), Farmix (16/1), Top Moon (28/1), Mister Fogpatches (33/1), Donkey Years (40/1), Encore Lui (66/1), Ujumpthelastuwin (80/1), Filon D'Oudairies (100/1), Key Commander (150/1), Shopping Around (200/1), Abraham (200/1), Our Friend (200/1), Shantou Sisu (250/1), Espion Du Chenet (300/1)

EASYWORK gets the vote to make a successful chasing debut having ended last term with a pair of Grade 1 seconds over hurdles at Leopardstown and Cheltenham (behind Envoi Allen in the Ballymore). Le Musigny looks the best of those with previous chasing experience and can chase the selection home, while Embittered, Top Moon and Donkey Years all need monitoring in the betting.
