Forecasts

Mighty Potter (2/5), Mars Harper (5/1), Largy Debut (6/1), Hascoeur Clermont (20/1), From The Ashes (33/1), Peaceful Sunday (50/1), Huntingtown (66/1), Our Patron Saint (100/1)

A clear round for smart hurdler MIGHTY POTTER should be enough for him to make a winning debut in this sphere. Mars Harper and Largy Debut both showed useful form over timber, but the former is much more reliable, so is taken to make it a 1-2 for Gordon Elliott.
