Forecasts

Townshend (1/5), Teacher's Pet (8/1), The Irregular (10/1), Mauna Kea (14/1)

Verdict

TOWNSHEND can get off the mark at the second time of asking over fences. The selection has a fair bit in hand on hurdles figures and with a run over fences behind him he looks the most likely winner of this 2m contest. Teacher's Pet put in some decent efforts over hurdles and though likely to prove better over further in time can get the better of The Irregular and Mauna Kea for second.
  1. Townshend
  2. Teacher's Pet
  3. The Irregular
