Forecasts

Verdict

If a return to timber sparks CRACK DU NINIAN back to life he could take a bit of stopping as he's running here off a 10 lb lower mark than when placed in a Carlisle Class 3 on his latest hurdle start back in October. A market move for Christian Williams handicap newcomer Tonto Foley would make him a potentially dangerous opponent. Ten Ten Twenty is another to consider.

  1. CRACK DU NINIAN (FR)
  2. TONTO FOLEY (IRE)
  3. TEN TEN TWENTY (IRE)
