Forecasts

Mauricio (2/1), The Raven Master (9/4), Taxmeifyoucan (5/1), Lucky Esteem (5/1), Phoenix Dawn (9/1), Bab El Mandeb (16/1), Kenyan (25/1), Yorkshire Star (66/1), Piccoloro (66/1)

With his yard in blinding form at the moment, ex-Irish MAURICIO is selected to make a winning hurdles debut. He scored nicely over 10f on the Flat last time and assuming he has settled into his new surroundings should run a good race. The Raven Master is one of a number of dangers given his top connections, a comment that also applies to Phoenix Dawn, Taxmeifyoucan, and the lightly raced filly, Lucky Esteem, who has the scope to succeed in this sphere.
