Forecasts

Shut The Box (10/11), Vision Clear (11/10), Dream Machine (7/4), Avonmore (14/1), Given Name (33/1), Maytheorsebewithu (50/1), Singer In The Sand (66/1), Awesome Rock (100/1)

A very modest opener where only three of them make any sort of appeal. Shut The Box and Vision Clear have hurdling experience and are two of those who could potentially win this, but the suggestion is to side with DREAM MACHINE on his hurdles debut. He has several factors in his favour, not least his record when fresh. and he should be well prepared for this.
