Forecasts
Seasmoke (9/4), Hardy Buck (9/4), Subtle Fortune (9/2), Kaviar Wood (9/2), Johnny Boy (15/2), The Moonlight Man (25/1)
KAVIAR WOOD has improved over hurdles of late and he has the potential to do better again now chasing/up in trip. Hardy Buck is proven under these conditions so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Seasmoke.
