Forecasts

Asum (2/1), Born For War (11/4), Buckled (9/2), Something Brewing (15/2), Elmono (9/1), Red Ochre (12/1), Garde Forestier (22/1)

SOMETHING BREWING the youngest horse in the field can make a winning debut over fences in this competitive looking novices' handicap. The selection has shown decent form over hurdles and he can get the better of Asum who has been running well of late while third place can go to Born For War who has placed twice over fences in the past.
