Forecasts

Theo (10/11), Capsy De Mee (5/1), Fair To Middling (6/1), Pemba (6/1), Earls Fort (12/1), Raleagh Mountain (12/1), Exitas (18/1), My Mo (20/1), While You Wait (25/1)

Verdict

Theo has been in super for Dr Richard Newland, racking up an impressive hat-trick over timber and will be a major player if taking to these larger obstacles. That is, of course, open to debate until he does it and so he might be worth taking at the forecast prices. WHILE YOU WAIT doesn't always turn up but he nonetheless won four times and placed five more from 21 hurdles starts for an impressive 28% strike rate. He won at Towcester in May and definitely stays this far so he, also on chase bow, looks an interesting contender and could prove up to this. Capsy De Mee is a well-related French bumper winner who should excel jumping fences while Fair To Middling and Pemba are others with potential in this sphere.
