Forecasts

Dancing City (2/5), Mossy Fen Park (7/2), Shannon Royale (13/2), Cleatus Poolaw (7/1), Olympic Man (11/1), Buachaillbocht (22/1), Billericay Dickie (25/1), Castle Field Boy (125/1), Dorans Law (200/1), Futurum Regem (200/1), Cosmo Renfro (200/1)

DANCING CITY was one of the top staying novice hurdlers last season and this point winner is also likely to take high rank in novice chases this time round. Shannon Royale and Mossy Fen Park made very promising starts to their chase careers last month and can give the selection most to do in a strong maiden.
