Forecasts

Caro Des Flos (11/10), Beyond The Law (7/4), Allardyce (7/2), Darsi's Gold (20/1), Knocknarae King (33/1), Percy Veer (50/1), Free Code (66/1)

Verdict

Not the strongest of maiden hurdles. Allardyce and Beyond The Law boast the best recent form and should be on the premises, but neither may be able to cope with CARO DES FLOS, who ran well to finish second to an odds-on stable companion on his only start for his top trainer and should be able to go one better.
  1. Caro Des Flos
  2. Beyond The Law
  3. Allardyce
