Forecasts

Just Golden (5/4), Step Ahead (3/1), Kiwi Rush (7/2), Neon Dream (13/2), Walk Tall (25/1), Handin Manypockets (33/1), Can't Resist It (50/1), Minella Mission (80/1)

Verdict

Several of these should be winning races before long and STEP AHEAD could be the first of them to deliver. He pulled nicely clear of the rest when chasing home one who had race-fitness/hurdling experience on his side at Warwick on what was his first run in this sphere following almost a year off. Next on the list is Just Golden, who has shown plenty in his two starts over hurdles and remains open to improvement. Kiwi Rush and point winner Neon Dream are others to consider.
