Forecasts

Winter Fog (1/2), Jeff Kidder (3/1), Gallant John Joe (13/2), Ambitious Fellow (9/1), The Bosses Oscar (11/1), Peregrine Run (12/1), Dancing Jeremy (14/1), Fully Charged (14/1), Port Stanley (16/1)

WINTER FOG is the best hurdler in this field and, after a couple of underwhelming runs over fences, he's fancied to make the most of what looks a fairly straightforward task on form. Jeff Kidder appeals as the main danger and The Bosses Oscar should feature if back on his game.
