Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	—	Ayiko (G) [T] Fairly useful winning 3m Irish hurdler who was hampered when unseated rider 9th in handicap hurdle at Navan (25.4f, heavy) 14 days ago. Can't be discounted now going chasing.	Sam Ewing	S R B Crawford	6	72.1 kg	6.50 11/2
—	2	—	Bill Joyce (G) FAV A useful dual 2m4f novice hurdle winner. Off since coming in a below-par fourteenth of 23 in 3m handicap hurdle at Punchestown 7 months ago but this successful pointer is a likely player on his debut in this sphere.	R P McLernon	J & A O'Neill	6	72.1 kg	1.83 5/6
3rd	3	—	Largy Belter (G) [HT] Made a promising start under Rules when runner-up in a Fairyhouse bumper. Acquired by new connections for £85,000 but well held in a couple of maiden chases this season. Could still do better though for top yard.	Tristan Durrell	D Skelton	5	72.1 kg	11 10/1
1st	4	—	Lario (G) [T] Maiden winner for Anthony Charlton and in good form in handicap hurdles for his current yard last term until only seventh in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m) final run. Goes chasing now and no surprise to see him bounce back.	Paul O'Brien	Harry Derham	6	72.1 kg	3.25 9/4

Betting forecast: Bill Joyce (5/6), Lario (9/4), Ayiko (11/2), Largy Belter (10/1)
