Forecasts
Hermes Allen (13/8), Nickle Back (10/3), Marble Sands (4/1), Tightenourbelts (13/2), No Ordinary Joe (8/1), Colonel Mustard (18/1)
It would be unwise to underestimate MARBLE SANDS, who was some way behind Hermes Allen in the Challow Hurdle here last season but he already looks a better chaser judged on his decisive winning debut in this sphere at Ayr. Hermes Allen was mightily impressive in the Challow and will be a serious threat if he takes to fences at the first attempt, while Nickle Back, like Marble Sands, has already surpassed his hurdles form since switched to fences and he is greatly respected.
