Forecasts

Outmaster (1/5), Bold Step (9/4), Name Me Nicely (3/1), Double Tiger (6/1), River Don (13/2), Lirone Du Seuil (8/1), Style De Folie (14/1), Jubertilee (25/1), Alberts Bay (25/1), At Sunrise (150/1)

Verdict

NAME ME NICELY holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to get off the mark now dropped into maiden company on the back of a very good handicap second at Newbury. Nicky Henderson's hurdling newcomer Bold Step appeals as the chief threat after a promising bumper second at Exeter, with Double Tiger and Outmaster also worthy of consideration.

  3. DOUBLE TIGER
