Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: James Moffatt| OR: 92

Forecasts

Quantum Of Solace (4/1), The Major (5/1), Boychick (11/2), Passing Dream (6/1), Tower Of Allen (7/1), Oscar Vespasian (10/1), Darlyn (12/1), Kalaskadesemilley (12/1), Fiercly Forgie (14/1), Clock On Tom (16/1), Anton Dolin (25/1), Murchison River (25/1), Nice Thoughts (25/1), Starshell (66/1)

BOYCHICK can put a disappointing latest effort behind him by taking this opening handicap hurdle. The selection ran well on his penultimate start and he can get the better of top weight Quantum Of Solace who has a promising conditional in the saddle while third can go the way of the mare Passing Dream who ran well at Chepstow on her most recent start.
