Forecasts

Miss Crick (10/3), Sleep Easy (5/1), Dell' Arca (11/2), Bendomingo (7/1), Wolfcatcher (7/1), Slim Pickens (8/1), Expedite (12/1), Mr Mcguiness (14/1), Breaking Bits (14/1), Ablazing (16/1)

Plenty of possibilities in a wide open handicap hurdle. Marginal preference is for EXPEDITE, fancied to reverse recent placings with top weight Dell Arca. He turns out fairly quickly after a disappointing run last time suggesting connections think he is better than we saw that day. Dell Arca wil be thereabouts but has plenty of weight, Ablazing comes here in good form and cannot be ruled out, while Bendomingo is in form too and is another with solid claims. Sleep Easy and Miss Crick are others to consider.
