Forecasts

Billy Bronco (11/8), Joe Farrell (3/1), Oscarteea (3/1), Solighoster (5/1), Back To The Thatch (16/1), Dan Emmett (40/1)

Joe Farrell made a decent start over fences last month and can improve, though Rebecca Curtis hasn't enjoyed much luck here lately. Solighoster looked a decent prospect in taking a couple of novice hurdles last term and is respected now sent chasing but it might be that BILLY BRONCO has the answers here. A maiden hurdle winner over extended 3m at Ayr, he also ran well in handicap hurdle at Sandown and March and is bred to be seen at his best over fences. Back To The Thatch represents an in-form yard and isn't without claims.
