Forecasts
Ballyoptic (3/1), Whataknight (4/1), Winningtry (6/1), Sir Mangan (13/2), Connetable (7/1), Young Dillon (7/1), Beer Goggles (16/1), Solatentif (16/1), Mighty Leader (16/1)
A couple of these may have bigger targets this year than this handicap hurdle and Ballyoptic certainly takes a drop in class here although he will need to brush up his hurdling technique which looked fairly ragged at times last year. Beer Goggles looked very much on the up last year but he might just need this and has to prove that he can cope with this mark of 145. Winningtry is arguably the better of the Nicholls duo with this trip looking sure to suit although he has to prove he can cope with this grade but should go close. Solatentif is closely matched with Mighty Leader but both may well find this tougher with Whataknight still not quite convincing back over hurdles and SIR MANGAN is given a shot. He often runs well off a break and loves a stamina test like this in a race that he could get the run of.
