Forecasts

Brutal (1/2), Grey Waters (7/2), Vision D'Ete (10/1), Richard Strauss (16/1), Vanderbilt (16/1), Foxy Lass (25/1), Machine Head (33/1), Little Princess (33/1), Downtown Rebel (40/1), Masterstonemason (40/1), Nobleman (50/1), Loose Chippings (50/1)

All make their hurdling debut in this race. Based on their Flat starts, Grey Waters, Downtown Rebel and Loose Chippings have been known to lead. In a race that very difficult to access the runners' experience, I feel, Vanderbuilt, Richard Strauss, Grey Waters and Little Princess all deserve a second look, but preference is for BRUTAL, thought good enough to run in the Group 1, Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster when with Ger Lyons, who should be speedy enough to take care of these.
