Forecasts

Minella Jury (11/10), King Of Records (6/5), Ufouria (10/3), Twistthenightaway (10/3), Blowers (8/1), Celtic Queen (9/1), Man Up Front (16/1), Alfa Charlie (22/1), Run Away Joe (33/1), Raging Al (40/1), Garavogue (66/1), Lipstick (125/1), Triple Haych (150/1), Big Lou (200/1)

Verdict

KING OF RECORDS was much improved from his hurdling debut effort when third at Ludlow in February and backed that up when second at Chepstow next time, so he is taken to open his account in this sphere with more still to offer on his reappearance. Ufouria showed promise over hurdles in Ireland and could be the main danger, ahead of Minella Jury.
