Forecasts

Benny's Bridge (10/11), War Brigade (4/1), Champagne Mystery (4/1), Imperial Knight (7/1), Mistiroc (16/1), Johnny Rocco (20/1), Mrsgrey (25/1), Time Is Honey (40/1), Darsi's Jewel (50/1), Eolian (66/1), Clondaw Storm (100/1), Sum Fun Now (100/1)

A fair novices' hurdle and the vote goes to BENNY'S BRIDGE who landed a bumper here on his only previous visit. He has already shown hurdles ability and can get off the mark this time. Main danger looks to be Champagne Mystery who represents a top yard and had no luck at all at Aintree on his Rules debut earlier this month. Imperial Knight, War Brigade and Johnny Rocco are others of interest.
