Forecasts

Sarceaux (11/4), Lady Reset (3/1), Midnight Callisto (5/1), Choral Work (5/1), Sorbet (5/1), Yauthym (8/1)

LADY RESET enjoyed an excellent campaign on the Flat/over hurdles in 2021/22 for David Pipe, winning 5 times (twice in handicap hurdles), and can add another victory to her tally here. The 6-y-o had been off 7 months prior to her second at Newton Abbot last time so can build on that effort to go one better. Handicap-debutante Choral Work is second choice, while Sorbet could take a step up from her recent run.
