Forecasts

Birch Hill (10/11), Oh Land Abloom (10/11), Raise A Spark (5/4), Sigurd (6/1), Ripstick (20/1), Our Uncle Pat (50/1), Luca Brazi (80/1), Sussex Road (100/1)

Verdict

Half of this field can be confidently dismissed, so it's a case of working out which of the remainder will take best to fences. Both Sigurd and Raise A Spark line up as relatively fresh horses who should strip fitter for their recent hurdles outings, whilst the top-rated Oh Land Abloom also merits respect. However, whilst racing on soft ground over hurdles more latterly, BIRCH HILL performed well in the main on better ground last summer, so this three-time career winner (from 15 starts) might feasibly be the solution for Gloucestershire handler Sophie Leech.
  1. Birch Hill
  2. Oh Land Abloom
  3. Raise A Spark
