Forecasts

Al Shahir (11/2), Indian Hawk (13/2), The Dubai Way (8/1), Melrose Boy (8/1), First Assignment (10/1), Canelo (10/1), Sam's Gunner (12/1), Turtle Wars (12/1), Dashing Perk (12/1), Run To Milan (12/1), Oxwich Bay (14/1), Dentley De Mee (16/1), Game On (16/1), Quick Pick (16/1), The Russian Doyen (18/1), Jabulani (25/1), Midnight Chill (33/1), Notre Ami (40/1)

Verdict

AL SHAHIR is likely to be a major threat for the Skelton team. He made all to score at Towcester in December and will have had this contest in mind since. He also has some useful form against solid performers in his locker previous to that, including behind subsequent Betfair Hurdle winner Kalashnikov, and could prove to be on lenient handicap mark now. Indian Hawk and Melrose Boy are on the shortlist, while Canelo could have plenty more to offer for an in-form Alan King team. Run To Milan is progressing all the time and four-time hurdles winner The Dubai Way will likely give a bold attempt to protect his unbeaten run despite his latest 4lb hike.
  1. Al Shahir
  2. Canelo
  3. The Dubai Way
