Forecasts

Bective Cave (7/4), Naughty But Nice (11/2), Mr Moondance (6/1), Shek O Lad (7/1), Field Exhibition (10/1), Ben Rumson (10/1), Kentucky Lass (12/1), Bronco Bill (16/1), Another Rattler (16/1), Mista Wabbit Man (20/1), Think Of Me (22/1), Big Picture (25/1), Rock Solid (25/1), Jimmyjames (25/1), Just Go (33/1), Nanacaulsitesker (33/1), Aimin For Anna (33/1), Sunny Purchase (33/1), Drumsheil (33/1), Lizzies Way (33/1), William Tyndale (33/1)

FIELD EXHIBITION ran well when finishing fourth off this mark over an extended 2m4f last time and Liam Casey's mare can register her first victory at the sixth time of asking by claiming this competitive handicap hurdle. The selection is taken to defeat the hat-trick seeking Mr Moondance here while Bective Cave, another winner last time out can finish third. Of the remainder market support for last years winner Kentucky Lass would also be interesting here.
