Near Kettering¹⁷

Weight: 10-3| Age: 7

T: S England J: Cam Hardie

Forecasts

Near Kettering (9/4), Haizoom (5/2), Teescomponentsfly (11/4), Cloudy Rose (7/2), Spantik (7/1), Too Big To Fail (10/1), Everett (12/1), Brickadank (14/1), Windrush Song (33/1), Lobo Del Mar (125/1)

Preference is for NEAR KETTERING, who is nicely treated in this sphere and returned to form over hurdles earlier this month. Teescomponentsfly and Cloudy Rose rate the principal dangers.
