Forecasts

Sunchart (6/4), Lieber Nicc (9/4), In The Trenches (11/2), Mr Escobar (11/2), Crooked Tannie (12/1), Impakt St Georges (25/1), Move It (28/1), Serienmond (50/1), Truckers Cruising (50/1), Duke Silver (80/1), Newport (80/1), Caminito Del Rey (100/1), Peddler's Lane (150/1), Esticky End (200/1), Lucky Junior (200/1)

Henry de Bromhead has a good recent record in this so LIEBER NICC is the suggestion. Useful Flat performer Sunchart reached the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles at the start of 2023 and is second choice ahead of Willie Mullins hurdle newcomer Mr Escobar and recent Cork runner-up In The Trenches.
