Forecasts
Imperial Bay (15/8), Testify (2/1), Seemorelights (3/1), De Vous A Moi (5/1)
Back over the hurdles, and for the first time for this trainer, De Vous A Moi is obviously of some interest given his rapid improvement over fences, and his higher chasing mark. Whilst he revels in deep ground, this trip is unchartered territory stamina wise, and although he probably should stay, preference is for the progressive TESTIFY who seeks to make it a third success of hurdles dropped marginally in trip after winning at Bangor earlier this month.
1. Testify
2. De Vous A Moi
