Forecasts

Black Sam Bella (11/8), Big Penny (15/8), Tangley (7/1), Libby T Valance (17/2), Lady Mix (11/1), Jersey Jewel (33/1), Oi Oi (50/1), Hollow Park (66/1), Monrocco (66/1)

More interesting than many races of its kind and BLACK SAM BELLA is the suggestion today. Dan Skelton's mare should begin to blossom now going over hurdles and given that he has had time to work with her, she is likely to be able to give a very good account. Tangley is respected as a winner already over timber, while Big Penny knows the drill, though the stable's recent form is a slight concern. All of the others have some positives to bring to the contest, with Libby T Valance just preferred this time to Jersey Jewel and Lady Mix.
