Forecasts
Burbank (30/100), Tree Of Liberty (5/1), Winningtry (6/1), Katalystic (80/1), Maple Stirrup (150/1)
Winningtry swerved an engagement at Leicester on Wednesday, and heads North with a few question marks as to exactly what he'll find at the business end of the race following his debut runs over hurdles. Tree of Liberty is reliable and stays well, but lacks the potential of BURBANK. Nicky Henderson has a line with Tree of Liberty through Lough Derg Farmer, and whilst it was only a maiden hurdle that this gelding won at Huntingdon, he looked to have a reasonable future in front of him, and he should be well suited by this step up in trip.

2. Winningtry
