Forecasts

Komedy Kicks (5/6), Estacas (13/8), Ve Day (7/2), Hobie (11/2)

The filly KOMEDY KICKS probably isn't entirely straightforward, but she didn't do much wrong when chasing home an upwardly mobile type at Fontwell recently and shades preference ahead of Estacas. The latter is likely to appreciate this drop back in trip after also finding one too good at Fontwell and he is clear second choice, given that VE Day has failed to build on his hurdles debut success and Hobie needs to take a sizeable step forward.
