Forecasts
Secret Door (4/6), Midtech Valentine (3/1), Favorite Girl (5/1), Hermarna (14/1), Over To Midnight (40/1)
Ian Williams has his horses running well at present and MIDTECH VALENTINE is taken to add to their recent haul. Having failed to make her mark over fences she returns on a hurdling mark just 3lb higher than when beating two subsequent winners at Kempton in November. A reproduction of that effort will see her land this for the second year running. Secret Door has to be feared hailing from a powerful yard who continue to place their horses to advantage. The drop to 2m does not look an obvious move judged on previous form but the handicap mark is hardly taxing and this may not take much winning. Favourite Girl has been in good form on the Flat recently. She will set out to make the running but may find the concession of weight asking too much.
