Forecasts

King's War (9/4), Deor (3/1), Carlitos Bay (3/1), Ted (7/1), Belclare Boy (9/1), Ned's Indian (16/1), Cottonvale (33/1), Baby Bellini (33/1), Fleetwood Jack (50/1), Ask Jim (50/1), High Frontier (66/1), Raising Cain (66/1)

Verdict

Could be a 'muddling' pace set here in a terribly mediocre affair. The Davy Russell-ridden, DECOR, will be all the rage here on hurdle debut for Galileo gelding who boasts, Celestial Halo, Supasundae and Windsor Park among his NH winners.
  1. Deor
  2. Belclare Boy
  3. Ned's Indian
