Forecasts

Baddesley Knight (1/2), Fly To Mars (11/4), West Drive (4/1), Mach One (12/1), Moayadd (25/1), Witches Glen (40/1), Given Name (40/1), Noble Saffron (100/1), Test Ride (100/1)

The top three on the racecard should dominate proceedings with preference for BADDESLEY KNIGHT who was an impressive winner of his bumper here and who has been more highly tried in his two previous starts over hurdles. Fly To Mars has to be a danger on his excellent second here before aiming too high on his next start. West Drive shoulders a penalty courtesy of a Fontwell success during the summer. He gets the good ground he requires, but a six month break tempers enthusiasm.
