Forecasts

Shajak (2/11), Lady Masquerade (6/1), Verbal Sparring (11/1), No Mean Feat (18/1), Aegirine (20/1), Man Oh Man (25/1), Rushford (25/1), Eighty Eight (25/1), All Ways And Ever (40/1), R S Ambush (50/1), Rene Artois (50/1), One For Mick (50/1), Dolly Watkins (66/1), Junot (66/1), Yorkshire Escape (80/1), Cramers Valley (100/1), Black Vega (125/1), Can't Think (125/1), Container Madness (150/1), Boston Bobby (150/1)

Useful Flat-winner SHAJAK left his hurdles debut well behind when just denied at Sligo and has been found an excellent opportunity. Verbal Sparring might have been placed had he completed at Fairyhouse when last seen in February and can make the frame this time.
