Forecasts

Lord Duveen (13/8), Benny's Bridge (11/4), Supremely Lucky (3/1), Baddesley Knight (7/1), Rocco (10/1), Reserve Tank (10/1), West To The Bridge (14/1), Primal Focus (25/1), Shanroe Smooch (100/1)

Supremely Lucky, Benny's Bridge and Reserve Tank are likely sorts on their jumping debuts for strong stables, but BADDESLEY KNIGHT also tackles hurdles for the first time after showing lots of promise in bumpers and may represent better value with his yard in good heart. Lord Duveen sets the standard on hurdling form and should be thereabouts.
