Forecasts
Delire D'Estruval (9/4), Hear No Evil (5/2), The Dellercheckout (9/2), Barton Knoll (8/1), Flemenskill (12/1), Imperial Eloquence (14/1), Overworkdunderpaid (16/1), Spider's Bite (25/1), Hidden Impact (40/1)
Quite a few of these are going to improve with this experience under their belts and it won’t be a surprise to see a lot of them showing their best over fences and 3m. The Dellercheckout wasn’t cheap and he’ll need to be pretty good to recoup his purchase price having so far won just one point-to-point but given his connections he must be respected. Barton Knoll could well put his experience to good use and he along with Hear No Evil start to give this race some depth. DELIRE D'ESTRUVAL is another with plenty of experience and his owners are no strangers to bring over a good horse from France and he’s expected to go well for the Ben Pauling yard who are 5/22 in the past fortnight.
