Forecasts

Heartasia (11/4), Kelpies Myth (7/2), Character Onesie (11/2), The Road Home (8/1), Chookie Royale (17/2), Silver Bullion (11/1), Emell (14/1), Bergholt (22/1), Arizona Bound (25/1), Weather Front (66/1), Outback Blue (150/1)

Verdict

Character Onesie put up a decent effort on his hurdling debut and if he is over his fall last time out then he could again have a say in this, while Chookie Royale is very much the class horse based on his Flat/AW form, though there are some stamina doubts where he is concerned, which were underlined when he did not quite appear to get home at Sedgefield on his belated hurdles debut. Kelpies Myth's bumper win here has worked out well enough, though stable jockey Derek Fox is on potential improver The Road Home, so check out the market for further clues there. Silver Bullion is short-listed and can put his last effort behind him on this better ground, but trainer Susan Corbett is enjoying a fine season with a relatively small string and her dual bumper winner HEARTASIA is taken to build on the promise of her hurdles debut over C&D and make the most of her mares' allowance.
