12/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Nowhere near that level on the Flat, including in a couple of handicaps, but it's too soon to write him off in this sphere. Blinkered first time here.

Forecasts

Indianapolis (13/8), Tazaman (9/4), Moonlit Warrior (7/2), Marbuzet (18/5), Joie De Vivre (7/1), Gift Of Raaj (15/2), I'm To Blame (12/1), Delphinus (12/1)

A competitive finale. TAZAMAN is nicely handicapped on the form he showed when chasing home a couple of progressive 3-y-os at Newbury on his penultimate start and gets the nod. Marbuzet has already tasted success over C&D this season and heads the dangers along with MIchael Bell's Moonlit Warrior.
