Forecasts

Don Des Fosses (5/4), Rosmuc Relay (4/1), Secret Legacy (5/1), Transpennine Star (11/2), Pull Together (8/1), Hayley Belle (16/1), Pacofilha (33/1), Taken By Force (100/1), Rumor (100/1)

Verdict

An interesting opener with a few unknown quantities to ponder. The market should be informative, but without that knowledge DON DES FOSSES looks a solid option with which to side. Sure to be well prepared, he has the benefit of the champion jockey up and it doesn't take much imagination to see him making a good hurdles debut. Rosmuc Relay is another interesting newcomer who could go very well, while Secret Legacy sets the standard on rules form and has already had a sighter over hurdles in Ireland, so he is feared. Hayley Belle could be an improver and the same applies to Pull Together.
