Forecasts

Lakefield Flyer (11/4), Wonleg (3/1), Be Fierce (5/1), Kilashee (6/1), Prince Of Air (8/1), Spellacy's Cross (10/1), Solly Attwell (16/1), Your Honor (20/1), Lake Chad (20/1)

WONLEG could have more to offer now moving into his first handicap over fences and is taken to provide Henry de Bromhead with a second successive win in this race. Be Fierce may provide the chief threat if none the worse for his Tramore fall on his reappearance. Spellacy's Cross arrives on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts over hurdles and is another who could have a say.
