Forecasts

Jumping Jet (11/4), Down The Park (11/4), Emily Roebling (3/1), Bop Bop Bobbin (11/2), Littel Flour (8/1), Stormalong (16/1), Image Du Large (18/1), Barryroe Madam (66/1), Billies Filly (100/1), Ivy Park (150/1)

DOWN THE PARK showed promise on her only start in bumpers and looks capable of making a winning start now upped in trip by her new yard for this hurdling debut. Emily Roebling has the best hurdling form and looks an obvious danger, while Jumping Jet also warrants consideration.
