Forecasts

Dancing Doug (7/4), River Icon (3/1), Stop Talking (4/1), Sky Khan (5/1), Ormesher (7/1), Ballyfarsoon (14/1), David John (16/1)

None of these enter this opening handicap hurdle with unblemished claims and a chance is taken that this will be run in a more suitable fashion for RIVER ICON who was showing signs of recapturing her form before running below-par last time. Stop Talking is another who it’s possible to forgive for a disappointing last run over C&D having travelled quite strongly. Neither Dancing Doug or Ormesher (needs to jump better) looks that well handicapped while Sky Khan is hard to win with these days often flattering to deceive in his races.
