Forecasts

Thecompanysergeant (11/4), The Big Doyen (4/1), Ashdale Bob (9/2), Lisnamult Lad (11/2), Cossack Chach (11/2), Moonovercloon (13/2), Judicieuse Allen (10/1), Charlie Luciano (16/1), Maidenstreetprince (20/1), Hand Over Fist (25/1), Ottoman Style (28/1), Ringdufferin (50/1), Whatsavailable (80/1), Charming Fortune (100/1), Ebasari (100/1), Benny The Duke (200/1), Finnfaraway (300/1)

THECOMPANYSERGEANT has been highly tried over fences since falling at Leopardstown but he acquitted himself very well when fourth in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse 11 weeks ago and he can take advantage of this drop in class. Smart-hurdler Ashdale Bob is potentially a serious threat on his belated return to chasing, while progressive hurdler Lisnamult Lad should take to this sphere (won sole start in points).
