Forecasts

Hardline (11/10), Slippery Serpent (13/8), Out Of The Loop (11/2), Vittorio (11/2), Lex Talionis (12/1), Amarillo Rose (14/1), Demi Plie (50/1), Megans Bella (66/1), Scorpion Sea (66/1), Dontworryaboutit (66/1)

Verdict

It may well pay to be on the front end of this race which will benefit the likes of Amarillo Rose who may appreciated the step up in trip, Hardline who has failed to finish on two previous hurdle starts but is sure to have had plenty of schooling in the meantime and the selection, VITTORIO, whose future could lie over the larger obstacles but is sure to have been well prepared on hurdling debut.
