Forecasts

Adjutant (9/2), Mystic Sky (5/1), Ravenous (5/1), Teqany (6/1), Chieftain's Choice (7/1), Swaffham Bulbeck (7/1), Pershing (8/1), Peruvien Bleu (11/1), Steel Wave (12/1), Cyrius Moriviere (50/1)

The last two hurdle runs of Ravenous have been backed up by quick times and with him liking to race on the pace, he's likely to make sure it's a true test and holds every chance. That brings in Mystic Sky who needs to run off a strong tempo and she's taken to bounce back. Swaffham Bulbeck has a decent opening mark but doesn't have the progressive profile of his stablemate ADJUTANT who is taken to make a winning start in handicaps.
