Forecasts

Mr Incredible (11/10), Ahoy Senor (5/2), Ashtown Lad (5/1), Flash Collonges (6/1)

Impossible to rule out any of the these but MR INCREDIBLE gets the nod. Henry de Bromhead's charge looked a very smart staying chase prospect when making a winning reappearance at Naas 3 weeks ago and, with this extra distance sure to suit, he can take this step up in grade in his stride. Sefton-scorer Ahoy Senor rates the main threat having shown plenty on his chase debut at Carlisle last month.
