Forecasts

Bill Joyce (5/6), Lario (9/4), Ayiko (11/2), Largy Belter (10/1)

Not an easy race to assess but BILL JOYCE had some useful winning hurdles form to his name last term and this successful pointer is fancied to go in at the first time of asking over fences. Irish raider Ayiko could emerge as the chief threat ahead of fellow chasing debutant Lario.
