Forecasts

Cardigan Bay (6/4), Ferrobin (11/4), Armandihan (11/4), Some Boy Mccoy (12/1), Almazhar Garde (16/1), Aria Rose (20/1), Darling Alko (20/1), Chestnut Pete (40/1), Nikap (50/1), Shelfield (50/1), Amangiri (66/1), Secret Beri (100/1), Bella Beau (100/1), Gilwen Gracelyn (100/1), Little Battler (100/1)

CARDIGAN BAY ran well in a highly competitive Listed handicap hurdle on his penultimate start and he can register a victory in this opening novice hurdle. Ferrobin has to concede 7lb to his chief rival and he is taken to claim second spot ahead of Armandihan who got off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere last time out.
