Forecasts

Hercule Du Seuil (1/2), Roseys Hollow (5/6), Lieutenant Highway (11/8), Hope Des Blins (9/1)

It's hard to look beyond HERCULE DU SEUIL, who went one better than on his chase debut when scoring in good style at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. A dual winner of graded race over hurdles, he remains open to improvement in this sphere. Roseys Hollow gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Lieutenant Highway, who didn't shape badly when fourth in the Ballinrobe maiden chase won by Hercule Du Seuil on his first start over the larger obstacles.
