Forecasts

Lovato (11/10), Ravens Hill (5/4), Jack Lamb (5/1), Falcos (12/1), Come On Lulu (33/1), Russian Rascal (40/1), Jewelled Prince (50/1), Heavenly Gait (150/1)

A very weak maiden hurdle, with Falcos and Jack Lamb the pick of the locally trained runners (least exposed). However, this most likely rests between Lovato and RAVENS HILL. With rain forecast and concerns with regards the former named runners stamina (despite dropping back in trip), the Dan Skelton trained horse is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking for the yard.
