Forecasts

Nettuno Italia (11/4), Lough Nigara (4/1), Kingkong Ciergues (5/1), Ney (5/1), Better Times Ahead (6/1), Smackwater Jack (16/1), Sights Unseen (16/1), John Storey (20/1), Roxhill Roise (25/1), Hey Babbs (28/1), Salmanino (33/1), Brilliant Light (40/1), Portarlington (66/1)

Verdict

NEY is back on his last winning mark over hurdles and judged on his exploits over fences for this yard last winter, he rates a very interesting contender. Better Times Ahead also has an attractive hurdles mark to exploit, with Sights Unseen completing the shortlist.
