Forecasts

Saucysioux (4/6), Walter Oneeightone (3/1), Polarbrook (7/1), Phare Isle (10/1), Blackwell Synergy (25/1)

Verdict

Such has been the ease with which SAUCYSIOUX has won her previous two starts that it is hard to imagine a 4lb ratings hike will be enough to dent her hat-trick bid now. She's improved significantly for this yard and, while she'll have to jump better for the champion jockey, she has the beating of these rivals granted a clear round. Walter Oneeightone showed improved form at Bangor when winning in October and did well to finish so close after a late mistake cost him his momentum at Taunton next time out. He's feared most ahead of Polarbrook and Phare Isle.
