Forecasts

Hammersly Lake (11/10), Ma du Fou (3/1), Querry Horse (11/2), Cyrius Moriviere (15/2), Winner Massagot (22/1), Lofgren (28/1)

Verdict

Most of these are inexperienced over fences, and connections of Ma du Fou, will be hoping that cheek-pieces help this seven-year-old recapture the best of his novice hurdle form. HAMMERSLY LAKE was the top-rated of this field over hurdles, and boasts the most experience over fences, so seems the most logical selection, especially now seemingly having learned to settle better than previously (held up on last two starts). 1. Hammersly Lake 2. Ma du Fou 3. Cyrius Moriviere
