Forecasts

Act Of Valour (8/11), Look My Way (3/1), Outcrop (8/1), Embole (10/1), Wishmaker (10/1), Shine Baby Shine (100/1)

Verdict

Not a massive amount of hurdles form on offer, with Outcrop the only runner in the field to have encountered racing over obstacles so far. Embole has a pedigree which suggests that his future lies over hurdles/fences, and he's an interesting newcomer to these shores for Dan Skelton. Look My Way has heavy ground Flat form in the book (at Ffos Las to boot), but he would appear costly enough at 70,000 gns, and the clear preference is for the Paul Nicholls trained newcomer ACT OF VALOUR. He was a reasonably solid, but unspectacular handicapper in Ireland for Michael O'Callaghan, yet he should be fine on the testing ground given that it'll be far less poached at this early stage of the day than later on in the afternoon.
  1. Act Of Valour
  2. Look My Way
  3. Embole
