Forecasts

The Big Westerner (9/2), Jet Blue (5/1), Jasmin De Vaux (6/1), Wingmen (6/1), Derryhassen Paddy (10/1), Argento Boy (14/1), Intense Approach (14/1), Wendigo (16/1), Sounds Victorius (20/1), Ballybow (22/1), Jax Junior (22/1), Ma Shantou (25/1), Flicker Of Hope (25/1), Yellow Car (33/1), Port Joulain (50/1), First Confession (50/1), Fishery Lane (50/1), Inn At The Park (66/1), Nativehill (66/1), Jig's Forge (125/1)

This looks wide open but Henry de Bromhead last won this with his Gold Cup hero Minella Indo and his smart mare THE BIG WESTERNER can use her 7 lb sex allowance to telling effect and retain her unbeaten record over hurdles. Gordon Elliott's Wingmen found only Final Demand too good in a Leopardstown Grade 1 last time and heads the list of dangers, although Jasmin de Vaux (choice of Paul Townend), Wendigo and Ballybow all command plenty of respect too. Derryhassen Paddy completes the shortlist.
