Forecasts

Ali The Hunter (6/4), Definite Winner (11/4), Shadow's Girl (11/2), Avonmore (8/1), Sin Sin (10/1), Ask Jilly (11/1), Opera Buffa (25/1), Little Folke (33/1)

With the trip and forecast ground in her favour DEFINITE WINNER can make a winning return to action in this mares only handicap hurdle. The selection showed good form on decent ground last autumn and she can see off recent winner Ali The Hunter who is dropping back in distance. Third place can go to Shadow's Girl who can put a below par Flat outing last time out behind her.
