Forecasts

Before Midnight (7/4), Locker Room Talk (9/4), Burns Cross (11/4), Upsettheodds (10/1), Alderson (12/1)

A field of rules newcomers and therefore probably not a race to get too heavily involved in from a punting perspective, though there are some nice pedigrees and also trainers who do well in these events being represented. BEFORE MIDNIGHT has a good National Hunt pedigree and his dam was a heavy ground hurdle winner, so coming from a stable with the best bumper record of those involved here, he gets the vote. Upsettheodds is nicely-related and can go well along with Burns Cross, while Locker Room Talk is not ruled out and the market should be checked closely for hints as to who is ready to go well first time.
