Forecasts

Marble Moon (7/2), Bradford Bridge (5/1), The Brothers (11/2), Fleeting Visit (11/2), Ambre Des Marais (6/1), Silver Sea (8/1), Glanvilles Guest (10/1), Kalifourchon (10/1), Atlantic Grey (11/1), Arty Campbell (16/1), Treasure The Ridge (20/1), The Go Tou Man (20/1), Pengo's Boy (33/1), Fields of Glory (40/1), Charlie Papa Lima (50/1)

Verdict

The hat-trick seeking MARBLE MOON arrives here in irresistible form and is forwarded in the hope that he can overcome a 7lb higher mark handed out after his latest success. This will be only the seventh start of the gelding's career over hurdles and could provide another platform for further progress. The Brothers also has plenty of scope and can play a strong supporting role, while Fleeting Visit and Glanvilles Guest are others to bear in mind if the market reacts positively to their presence in the lineup. Kalifourchon could also be good value for a place in the frame.
