8/1

£17,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Arvico Bleu. Dam, ran once on Flat, closely related to smart bumper winner Samain. Perhaps more of a longer-term prospect on paper.

8/13

€80,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to useful French hurdler La Spezia. Dam 2m hurdle winner in France. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Forecasts

Moore Brion (8/13), Hidden Fortune (5/2), Hurlyburly (8/1), Popalot (10/1), Bargain Hunter (33/1)

Point winner HIDDEN FORTUNE can give Dan Skelton another bumper victory. Moore Brion makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be the danger, with the betting likely to point the way.
