Forecasts

Wartime Leader (5/2), St Lawrence's Well (11/4), Red Oak (4/1), The Monkey Pole (6/1), The Iron Chef (15/2), Luck Between Us (12/1), Obey The Order (20/1), Muted Melody (25/1), Kilbarry Ace (25/1), Whatafoolbelieves (40/1), Larkfield Liberty (50/1), Brownes Cross (100/1), Hunters Girl (150/1), Cailin Fort (150/1)

Having found only one too good in a pair of maiden hurdles last month, THE MONKEY POLE promises to be suited by this longer trip than most bumpers, so he could be the answer. There's depth to this, with Wartime Leader and Red Oak a couple of potential threats.
