Forecasts

Fire Attack (4/7), Auckland (10/3), Champagne Sparkles (7/2), Even Flight (28/1), Satin Sun (28/1), Turndownthevolume (50/1)

FIRE ATTACK was capable of a useful level of form over hurdles so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of Champagne Sparkles who showed up well when runner-up on his chasing bow at Tramore. Auckland is another going over fences for the first time who needs considering.
