Forecasts

Sound As A Bell (11/10), Walking Saint (7/2), Sky And Sand (7/1), Gunnery Sergeant (15/2), Gallant George (12/1), Don Jefe (16/1), Silver Salute (16/1), Le Tatoue Madrik (22/1), Dark Lieutenant (33/1), Moorish Castle (33/1), Poet's Gale (66/1), Listentomewillya (125/1), Jesse James Howard (200/1), Fervida (200/1)

Verdict

Not a strong maiden hurdle and in receipt of weight from most, WALKING SAINT looks the one to be with tackling a trip that is sure to suit. Ian Patrick Donoghue saddles a couple of interesting rivals in Silver Salute and Gallant George.

  1. Walking Saint7/2
  2. Silver Salute16/1
  3. Gallant George12/1
