Verdict

Cave Hunter the winner of this for the last two years looks as though he’ll make a bold bid again off the back of a smooth point-to-point win but this looks quite a deep race this year with both Shantou Magic and YOUNG HURRICANE looking capable of being successful in this sphere. The former makes his first start for this yard but has shown up well in better races than this in the past and the same could be said of the latter. Monsieur Jourdain is likely to turn in his usual consistent run with Tallow Fair and Charlie Snow Angel worth a look at bigger prices.
  1. Young Hurricane
  2. Cave Hunter
  3. Tallow Fair
