Forecasts

Leapt (11/4), High Wells (4/1), Hermanus (9/2), Scotsbrook Night (11/2), Boychick (6/1), Inniscastle Lad (9/1), Primogeniture (9/1), Light Of Air (11/1), Macksville (12/1), Gamekeeper Bill (40/1), Golden Sandstorm (66/1), Celer Et Audax (200/1)

A good puzzle to start the card with several who will fancy their chances and the hat-trick seeking Hermanus will be one of the leading lights even though she has to cope with another rise in the weights for her Bangor win. Boychick and High Wells are two others that will be suited by this test and have already shown some decent form over hurdles. Scotsbrook Night is consistent but keeps hitting the crossbar while Leapt needs to brush up his hurdling. LIGHT OF AIR hasn’t shown as much as some of these over hurdles but his Flat form will stand him in good stead now he goes handicapping over hurdles; market support would be interesting.
