Forecasts

Lord Yeats (4/7), Baracalu (4/1), Constancio (11/2), The Raven's Return (10/1), The Sting (33/1)

Little doubt that LORD YEATS was the better of the two ex-Flat performers who line up for this maiden hurdle and there can’t have been that many Listed Flat winners to have run over hurdles at Sedgefield. The experience he gained at Wetherby will stand him in good stead here and he should be able to relegate Constancio to another runner-up slot having filled that position on his hurdling debut at Musselburgh. Baracalu looks booked for third barring any mishaps to the big two in the race although he’ll need to brush up his jumping. The Raven’s Return travels a long way to make his second hurdles start and drops in grade but he didn’t look keen last time and runs into some useful sorts here.
