Forecasts
Honesty Policy (4/9), Great Attitude (4/1), Sommesky (4/1), Champagne Jury (9/2), Coral River (13/2), Rockymountainbleu (17/2), One And Only (66/1)
Though he's the only one of these without hurdles experience to draw upon, CHAMPAGNE JURY has shown that he can negotiate obstacles having finished runner-up on his completed start between the flags. The 6-y-o did the job well in a Naas bumper on his Rules debut in January and is taken to follow up on this hurdling bow. Honesty Policy opened his account in good style at Navan three weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Rockymountainbleu.
