Forecasts

Crebilly (10/11), Hoe Joly Smoke (10/3), Buckhorn Rocco (7/2), Hugos New Horse (7/2), Doyen Star (15/2), Always Busy (25/1), Sailed Away (50/1), Anytrixwilldo (80/1), Minella Choice (100/1), Scherbobalob (150/1), Rapid River (250/1), Black Tonic (300/1)

Verdict

Plenty of potential improvers here, including HOLY JOE SMOKE, who was an encouraging second on debut at this course in October. That form has been franked since and he gets the nod. Hugos New Horse and Always Busy head the list of dangers.

  1. HOE JOLY SMOKE
  2. HUGOS NEW HORSE (FR)
  3. ALWAYS BUSY (IRE)
