Forecasts

Epson Du Houx (9/4), Chalky White (10/3), Capuccimix (9/2), Chief Of Police (6/1), Dakota Moirette (8/1), Ificudiwud (8/1), Yaha Fizz (11/1), Allardyce (11/1), Jack Hackett (12/1), Batcio (22/1), Benefit Run (25/1), Schmidt (125/1)

EPSON DU HOUX was impressive in getting off the mark at the second attempt over fences and, with likely more to come, he could prove capable of defying a mark of 125 now his attentions are turned to handicaps. Ificudiwud looks potentially well in based on hurdling form, so he's a danger along with Dakota Moirette.
