Forecasts

Oscar Knight (3/1), Perfect Man (7/2), Optimised (5/1), Emma Beag (8/1), Swift (9/1), Pause And Ponder (9/1), Monastic (11/1), Seskinane (16/1), Nobody Home (16/1), Toubaloo (20/1), Go Forty Go (25/1), Archie Meade (33/1)

Verdict

Perfect Man has been in fine form recently, winning two decent looking handicaps with more possibly to come given his age and profile, while Toubaloo has good form in the book and could have a say, especially if first time headgear does the trick. Preference though, is for OSCAR KNIGHT. This talented performer switches back to hurdles having put in some impressive performances over fences, including when beating subsequent dual-Grade 3 winner Ball D'Arc. He has to defy top weight here, but that could still be lenient given what he's achieved in chases.
  1. Oscar Knight
  2. Perfect Man
  3. Toubaloo
