Forecasts

Star Of Valour (15/8), Herecomeshogan (5/2), Chadlington Lad (11/4), Cadeau D'Or (3/1), Sydney Blues (9/2), Hellsworth (20/1), Time To Burn (66/1), Norman Abu (125/1), Watchoutitscookie (150/1), Earth Spirit (200/1)

STAR OF VALOUR is a consistent sort on the level who makes appeal now going hurdling in a what looks a winnable race, so he receives the vote. Cadeau d'Or has leading claims back in maiden company, while Sydney Blues also enters calculations following a much better effort at this venue 10 days ago.
