Forecasts

She Mite Bite (4/5), Skidoosh (11/4), Dark Episode (6/1), Bailarico (8/1)

A potentially muddling contest with such a small field, but SHE MITE BITE looks a reasonably attractive proposition with her allowance and a 6lb claim to help, after a promising hurdles debut. She showed a quirky side to her there, but in receipt of so much weight, she looks worth the risk. Bailarico is not taken on lightly, but it will be a fair effort to successfully concede over a stone. Dark Episode also looks a threat now upped in trip.
