Forecasts

Steal A March (10/11), Frisson Collonges (3/1), Enchancia (10/3), Mcgarry (7/2), The Composeur (12/1), A Book Of Intrigue (20/1), Ede'iffs Elton (25/1), Firenzo (33/1), Do It For Thy Sen (40/1), Arvico's Light (50/1), Downton Fox (50/1)

Verdict

Not a particularly strong novices’ hurdle and plenty of these will be better off in handicaps. STEAL A MARCH ran well enough last time at Newbury to be consider a leading contender for something like this and he’ll appreciate the step up in trip. Enchancia is probably the most interesting runner after winning his only point-to-point although he does have a long absence to cope with plus his yard are only just finding their feet again. Frisson Collonges has the potential to do a lot better than he has so far while another winner from between the flags – McGarry needs watching carefully in the market. The Composeur will be of more interest after this in handicaps.
  1. Steal A March
  2. Enchancia
  3. Frisson Collonges
