Forecasts

Star Of Affinity (2/9), Hors Jeu (11/8), Where's Cato (3/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for each of the trio but the most persuasive is for HORS JEU, who is getting his act together over fences and pulled a long way clear with the winner when narrowly denied at Hereford a fortnight ago. He can make amends at the expense of Star of Affinity, who ran up to the pick of his hurdles form at Wincanton in November and should have more to offer in this discipline.
