Forecasts

Syracus Du Houx (11/10), Sionnach Eile (3/1), Pahlavi (4/1), Jet Setting Jim (9/2), Hackney Hill (25/1), Aspurofthemoment (50/1), Winston's Way (66/1), Nevereverever (100/1), Spoilt For Choice (125/1), Mirado (150/1), Ely Bandero (150/1), Easky Maid (200/1)

SYRACUS DU HOUX took a big step forward when runner-up in a similar event at Punchestown 11 days ago, briefly looking to have the favourite in trouble when clear of the rest, and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account. Pahlavi is selected for the forecast over Jet Setting Jim, who shaped like a stayer on his hurdling bow but is down in trip here.
