Forecasts

Raising Hope (11/4), More Than Luck (7/2), Bennys Girl (6/1), Repeat The Feat (6/1), Academy General (17/2), The Mythologist (9/1), Badilou (9/1), Oriental Fixer (12/1)

Verdict

If More Than Luck stays this trip he could prove hard to beat. He jumped much better at Ffos Las and a similar display would have plenty of these in trouble. However, there are no guarantees of that, and a chance is taken on RAISING HOPE getting it right in the jumping department. He's well treated if he can, and could follow up his win here last week. Repeat The Feat is another that needs to prove himself at the trip but the feeling is that there's better to come from him, and he's not out of this either.
  1. Raising Hope
  2. Repeat The Feat
  3. More Than Luck
