Forecasts

Old Harry Rocks (5/4), Lovato (13/8), Talkischeap (15/8), Burst Ya Bubble (9/4), Global Ruler (4/1), Good News (20/1), Keepyourheadup (33/1)

Old Harry Rocks and Global Ruler represent top yards who are in form. Both are nothing out of the ordinary and the latter will probably be a false price having finished second to a less than enthusiastic rival last time. Lovato is interesting having run in Listed company on the Flat in Germany, whilst Burst Ya Bubble is better than his bare form suggests. TALKISCHEAP is a triple point-to-point winner for a yard who do well with their hurdlers around here. Backed as though possessing plenty of ability in each of his bumpers, he can begin his new career with a victory in a race which is not as competitive as it looks.
