Forecasts

Ballinslea Bridge (3/1), Ramonex (7/2), Lithic (4/1), Just Don't Ask (9/2), Zolfo (7/1), Tiffin Top (11/1), Sporting Press (14/1), Bandsman (18/1)

Title-seeking Brian Hughes takes the ride aboard Just Don't Ask and that duo are expected be on the premises following a series of consistent efforts, while the four-timer seeking Zolfo will surely need to scale new heights if to defy the attentions of the handicapper (5lb rise) for his Boxing Day success. However, the horse who makes most appeal is the unexposed BALLINSLEA BRIDGE. As a progressive novice hurdler for Olly Murphy during the 2017/18 season he's clearly had a few issues (was off the track for 655 days). Nevertheless, he's made a pleasing return over fences for a new trainer (Gary Moore) shaping as if his turn was near at Exeter (2m3½f) on New Year's Day.
