Forecasts

Predators Gold (4/7), Mossy Fen Park (3/1), Doctor Elvis (7/1), Jhentong Enki (7/1), Brennus Lescribaa (18/1), Pax (33/1), Not My Problem (33/1), Time For Tea (40/1), Spatman De Cerisy (80/1), Evans Secret (100/1), Warmer Days Ahead (125/1), Hatfield Hammer (150/1), Backinabit (150/1), Fire Coral (200/1), Golden Reel (200/1), Rebel Cowgirl (250/1), Jacenry (250/1), Little Hero (250/1), Without Exception (250/1), Mighty Momentum (250/1)

PREDATORS GOLD looked a good prospect when making a successful bumper debut at this course 7 months ago and is taken to maintain his unbeaten record now switched to hurdling. Mossy Fen Park is a fascinating Rules debutant having changed hands for big money after winning his second start in Irish points in easy fashion, while Jhentong Enki and Doctor Elvis are others to consider in an intriguing maiden.
