Forecasts
Murphy's Milan (9/4), Gwennie May Star (10/3), Getaway Theatre (13/2), Catch Catchfire (7/1), Kiss My Face (11/1), Flash In The Pan (11/1), Thankyourluckystar (11/1), I'm A Starman (12/1), Sporting Ace (22/1)
Plenty in with chances but the vote goes to THANKYOURLUCKYSTAR, who bolted up under this rider at Worcester when last seen in May and an 11 lb rise may not prove enough to prevent him from going in again on return. Getaway Theatre relished the return to hurdles when scoring back in the spring, so Stuart Edmunds' mare heads up the opposition, with Murphy's Milan and Catch Catchfire both considered, too.
