Forecasts

Super Stars (2/1), Spirit Of Ash (3/1), Easter Island (5/1), Bobby Shaftoe (5/1), Belle Of Annandale (14/1), Irv (16/1), Desert Quest (22/1), Art Of Romance (28/1), My Boy Benji (40/1)

Verdict

SPIRIT OF ASH can have her latest run easily ignored and had been in fine form over this C&D prior to that so she might prove the answer to this opener. Belle of Annandale is fairly handicapped on her best Flat form and has notched 2 hurdle wins since joining Adrian Keatley so she's an obvious danger. Bobby Shaftoe may prove best of the rest.
