Forecasts

Cuban Court (10/11), Lightning Flash (7/4), Two To Tango (5/2), Whatyouwaitingfor (9/2)

This looks wide open with WHATYOUWAITINGFOR given a narrow vote. He compiled a solid record in maiden/novice hurdles for his previous stable and appeals as the type who could do better still now handicapping over larger obstacles with his yard amongst the winners. Cuban Court is unbeaten over fences here and is next best ahead of Two To Tango.
