Forecasts

Fontley House (11/10), No Hidden Charges (5/2), Slaine (5/1), Pepperdew (10/1), Domaine De L'Isle (11/1)

The promise that FONTLEY HOUSE showed in his Punchestown bumper when trained in Ireland finally looked to come to the fore last time with a tongue-tie (first-time) and a wind op helping him to see his race out properly at Ludlow. A further step up in trip looks within his compass although he will face a tough battle against Irish point-to-point winner No Hidden Charges who has shown promise in both his hurdles starts and despite running well at 2m last time this is much more his trip. Ex-French Domaine De L’Isle has some useful form in France and looks interesting on his GB debut while Slaine can take another step forward before going handicapping.
