Forecasts

Verdict

Though he's the only one of these without experience over fences, progressive hurdler THE QUESTIONER appeals as the type who will excel in this sphere. He took another step forward when scoring at Ascot last time and he gets the nod ahead of Taste The Fear, who is pretty well-handicapped based on his hurdles form and will be a big threat if able to build on his latest effort at Huntingdon. Midnight Glance and Court At Slip are others with solid enough claims.

  1. THE QUESTIONER (IRE)
  2. TASTE THE FEAR (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHT GLANCE
