Forecasts

Stand Off (10/11), Centurion Steel (10/3), Awesome Shirocco (11/2), Annie Kate (11/1), Bowser (12/1), Nelson's Point (20/1), Good World (20/1), Presenting Bonnie (22/1), Orcadian Symphony (22/1), Irregularheartbeat (25/1), Deramore Park (25/1), Walking The Walk (28/1), Coole Arcade (33/1), Barrow Bounty (50/1), Gold Label (100/1), Lady L'lerom (100/1), Some Joke (200/1)

This doesn't look a strong maiden so STAND OFF may be capable of striking at the second time of asking over hurdles. Centurion Steel represents leading connections and won't need to improve much for the addition of a tongue strap to have a big say. Awesome Shirocco should have more to offer on the back of his hurdle debut fifth and also makes the shortlist.
