Forecasts

Chidswell (10/3), Calipto (9/2), Verona Opera (5/1), Pistol Park (11/2), Wolf Sword (13/2), Bright Prospect (15/2), Un Guet Apens (16/1), The Clock Leary (16/1), Indian Voyage (25/1)

A wide open event and cases can be made for a few. Pistol Park stayed on from an unpromising position here over 2m recently and could have more to offer now upped in trip while Bright Prospect and Chidswell are well-matched on their Kelso one-two in January if adapting to this shorter trip. The Clock Leary was in fine form for Donald McCain earlier in the season and could go well off his break but VERONA OPERA ran well in a Listed event here in December behind the smart subsequent Cheltenham Festival (hurdles) winner Benie Des Dieux. Her trainer is in useful form and she may be the answer having dusted off the cobwebs over hurdles recently.
