Forecasts

Birds Of Prey (4/5), Champagne Well (4/1), Romeo Brown (4/1), Zanza (5/1), Shiroccan Roll (6/1), It's Fine Wine (11/1), Winter Soldier (14/1), My Lady Grey (28/1), Legend Of Zorro (50/1), Cushuish (50/1), Westerner Ocean (50/1), Manofthemountain (66/1), Passing Oceans (66/1), Regal Flute (100/1)

Quite a decent event of its type with three previous winners in the field all of whom have to carry a penalty here and that may make life tough against a classy performer like BIRDS OF PREY. His Flat form would be way above anything the others could achieve and the experience of his hurdles debut won’t be lost on him at a track where his trainer has a 32% strike-rate with his hurdlers (past five years). Romeo Brown of the penalised runners looks the most dangerous along with Zanza while Champagne Well will enjoy this increased test on his hurdling debut. Winter Soldier and My Lady Grey are two to watch in the market for a positive move.
