Forecasts

Little Stevie (7/2), Movie Set (7/2), Throckley (5/1), Valgor Du Ronceray (13/2), Think Ahead (7/1), Sleepy Haven (15/2), Noah And The Ark (10/1), Noble Warrior (10/1), The Herds Garden (14/1), Iolani (14/1), Zig Zag (20/1)

Quite a few of these would look capable if they could be relied on to stage a revival with protagonists like Iolani, Zig Zag and Sleepy Haven all coming into that category. Noah And The Ark will find this a more suitable handicap test than the one he had to cope with at Cheltenham when first tried in this sphere and if he’s ready to go he can go close; he would be a more solid proposition that Don McCain’s other runner The Herd’s Garden. Note a market move for Throckley with this trip being far more suitable than the test he was given at the weekend. All in all this looks a good chance for LITTLE STEVIE back over hurdles to show that a 9lb rise for his Worcester win isn’t prohibitive.
