Forecasts

Triangle Rock (4/1), Eric The Third (9/2), St Quintin (6/1), Cully Mac (13/2), Perseid (9/1), Diggin Deep (14/1), Son Of Feyan (14/1), Moores Novelty (14/1), Waltz Darling (18/1), Andhaar (18/1), Fields of Glory (20/1), Samtu (25/1), Royal Summit (50/1), Dudette (66/1)

Verdict

ERIC THE THIRD is well handicapped on his recent chase form and he is taken to record a victory in this opening handicap hurdle. The selection has been running well of late and he can see off top weight and handicap debutant Triangle Rock while third place can go the way of longstanding maiden Son Of Feyan who ran well last time.
  1. Eric The Third
  2. Triangle Rock
  3. Son Of Feyan
