Forecasts

Repeat Business (4/1), Moral Hazard (4/1), Indian Leader (9/2), Spencer Moon (7/1), Ramble On (9/1), Watch The Birdie (10/1), Tinkers Hill Tommy (16/1), Frelia (16/1), Moreece (20/1), Pink Eyed Pedro (20/1), Romeo Is Bleeding (25/1), Captain Camelot (28/1), Doctor Braveheart (33/1), War Path (33/1), Manhattan Mead (40/1)

Verdict

An open-looking contest where there is perhaps more guesswork than usual due to the lack of previous hunter chase form involved. Repeat Business looks likely to get competitive again after being runner-up in this last year, while Indian Leader and Moral Hazard should also get competitive. Ramble On and Tinkers Hill Tommy should not be far apart in the shake-up, though the suggestion is to go with the prolific point-to-point winner WATCH THE BIRDIE, who handles the forecast ground well, is in good form and also has the mares' allowance on her side.
  1. Watch The Birdie
  2. Ramble On
  3. Repeat Business
