Forecasts

Bordeaux Bill (4/5), Sharp Response (6/5), Three Ways (9/4), Thumb Stone Blues (15/2), Dark Valley (20/1)

It is interesting that Sue Smith, whose Delusion Of Grandeur beat Thumb Stone Blues at Catterick recently, takes on that gelding with Sharp Response here and she may feel that there is a fair bit more to come from her gelding, though preference is for THREE WAYS. Jamie Showden's six-year-old has run well over C&D already and looks to have a good chance to get off the mark over fences. Bordeaux Bill is not ruled out and with the stable among the winners, Dark Valley at least deserves a market check on debut.
