Verdict

This race would appear to rest between dual C&D runner up Storm Forecast, and the steadily progressive Micky Hammond trained APPLAUS. Whilst Storm Forecast can be expected to be stronger for his recent run, and is likely to be suited by a better surface, the winning (and placed) form of Applaus in Novice Hurdles is strong in the context of this race. He was set a tough task against a battle hardened handicapper (Nuts Well) last time, and this looks a good opportunity to record a second career hurdles success (wearing the first time cheek-pieces).
  1. Applaus
  2. Storm Forecast
  3. Notorious One
