Betting Forecast: 4/1 Tombstone, 8/1 Peregrine Run, 10/1 Modus, 10/1 Automated, 12/1 Tin Soldier, 14/1 Hargam, 16/1 Taquin Du Seuil, 16/1 Sure Reef, 16/1 Mister Miyagi, 16/1 Supasundae, 16/1 River Frost, 16/1 Scoir Mear, 20/1 Old Guard, 20/1 Bravissimo, 20/1 Kalondra, 25/1 Monksland, 25/1 Hawk High, 25/1 Waxies Dargle, 25/1 Who Dares Wins, 25/1 Morello Royale, 25/1 Allblak Des Places, 25/1 Robinshill, 25/1 Carrig Cathal, 33/1 The Romford Pele, 33/1 Thomas Hobson, 33/1 Leoncavallo

Betting tip: Tombstone comes into this race after defeating Jezki (won the 2014 Champion Hurdle) – a repeat of that performance would be good enough here however there are currently 26 runners and Tombstone is currently trading at around 4/1 so it may be worth siding with Supasundae each-way – finished behind Altior last year in the Supreme Novices and has been running well of late in races in Ireland.  16/1 is a very reasonable each-way price.
