Forecasts

On The Blind Side (7/4), White Moon (4/1), Springtown Lake (7/1), Red River (7/1), Dynamite Dollars (15/2), Marley Firth (8/1), Mulcahys Hill (12/1), Diamant Bleu (16/1)

WHITE MOON has impressed in both hurdles outings to date and he is taken to make a successful step up in class by taking this competitive looking Grade 2 novice hurdle. The selection hails from a stable who can boast a 20% strike-rate (7/35) of late and he can get the better of the penalised On The Blind Side who may find this trip on the sharp side while Springtown Lake, a likely winner prior to coming down in a handicap last time out can claim third.
