Forecasts

Brahms De Clermont (4/9), Air Squadron (5/1), Oscars Boss (8/1), Protest (8/1), Dusky Raider (10/1), Le Drapeau (16/1), Buck's Lad (33/1), Dont Even Go There (66/1)

Verdict

Brahms De Clermont is the one to beat on form but he's just been a little disappointing, and it might be worth giving AIR SQUADRON a go on his hurdles debut. The fact he's a half-brother to the wining hurdler Countess Comet gives some hope he might take to the game, and if he does, he's capable of shaking the Nicholls inmate up. Protest might be one for handicaps later in the summer, and a market move here would make him worth a look. Dusky Raider and Buck's Lad can both challenge for the minors.
