Forecasts

Esprit De Baileys (9/4), Starjac (5/2), Cervaro Mix (7/2), Lunar Jet (13/2), Hats Off To Larry (9/1), Peachey (14/1), Little Rich (50/1), Justthegrey (66/1), Thunderhooves (100/1), Arabian Fairytale (150/1)

STARJAC chased homed a useful performer at Fakenham last time and he can get off the mark over hurdles by taking this novices' contest. The selection represents a good yard and can see off Cervaro Mix who ran with promise when debuting over hurdles last time while third place can go to Esprit De Baileys who showed decent form on the Flat.
