Forecasts

Brecon Hill (8/11), What's Occurring (9/4), Monjeni (7/1), Cardigan Bay (8/1), Paddy A (18/1), Dreyfus (50/1), Go As You Please (66/1), Rahmah (100/1), Dr Oakley (100/1), Infiniti (150/1), French Piece (150/1)

Both Monjeni and to a less extent stablemate Paddy A are interesting hurdling newcomers here for Ian Williams. The former beat the latter on the AW recently, though there wasn't a huge amount in it and both might be able to get reasonably competitive. Cardigan Bay needs to improve on her latest run here, but is open to doing so and could also compete for the minors. However, the top two on the racecard make most appeal, despite their penalties and BRECON HILL should be capable of making the most of the 6lb he receives from What's Occuring.
