Forecasts

I Will Follow (7/2), High School Days (9/2), Slippery Serpent (9/2), Get Smart (5/1), Chateauneuf Du Pap (8/1), Lakemilan (10/1), Monotype (10/1), Theydon Park (10/1), Russellstown (20/1)

Verdict

Quite a tricky novice hurdle in which a case can be made for all of the runners. Narrow preference is for HIGH SCHOOL DAYS, who won a handicap on this type of ground last time and looks to be on the up, a remark which also applies to I Will Follow. Slippery Serpent and Monotype are respected back in trip, while bottom-weight Theydon Park may be dangerous in a first-time visor.
  1. High School Days
  2. Slippery Serpent
  3. Theydon Park
