Broughtons Star (10/3), Mr Globetrotter (4/1), Henpecked (5/1), Bahrikate (13/2), Motion To Strike (13/2), Hey Bob (17/2), Novo Dawn (11/1), Wot A Shot (20/1), Kisumu (28/1)
This race will take little winning and Gordon Elliott, who rarely leaves here emptyhanded, may have found the right opportunity for Broughton's Star to land a second career victory. Bahrikate has the best recent hurdling form but she may be vulnerable if either Henpecked or MR GLOBETROTTER can transfer their recent Flat form. The former has not jumped well so far but any improvement in that department would make her hard to beat. MR GLOBETROTTER has shown little so far over hurdles but this represents his easiest oppotrtunity so far. Two recent victories on the Flat indicate significant improvement and he will get few easier opportunities to open his account over timber.
- Mr Globetrotter
- Henpecked
- Bahrikate
