Forecasts

Tea Clipper (11/8), Arrivederci (13/8), Golden Taipan (15/8), Chance A Tune (4/1), Milan's Society (14/1), Shelfield (40/1), Vinnie Rouge (100/1), Clondaw Sam (100/1)

Even with the assumed absence of Golden Taipan who was a 2L winner at Huntingdon yesterday afternoon this is an interesting contest. Arrivederci shaped with plenty of promise in bumpers last season despite a defeat on his second start his pedigree for jumping makes him of interest now that he tackles hurdles for the first time. Chance A Tune is another hurdling newcomer of note although the suspicion is that he’ll need a stiffer test of stamina than this 2m will provide. Milan’s Society given his connections ought to be better than he’s shown so far but it’s Larkhill point-to-point winner TEA CLIPPER who makes the most appeal on his first try over hurdles.
