Forecasts

High Bridge (1/1), Multiculture (11/4), Azzerti (6/1), Dead Right (6/1), Little Chunk (16/1), Not Never (28/1), Goldslinger (66/1), Crack Du Tay (100/1), Jodies Jem (100/1), Argus (100/1)

An interesting opener where High Bridge will be difficult to beat despite giving weight away all around, though the suggestion is DEAD RIGHT, who admittedly makes his debut over hurdles, but comes here from a good bumper and with his yard in cracking form. Multiculture, Azzerti and Little Chunk are others who should be battling for prize money. 1. Dead Right 2. High Bridge 3. Multiculture
