Forecasts

Odello (5/2), Bisoubisou (3/1), Western Sunrise (15/2), Staunton (10/1), Hoo Bally Diva (11/1), River Dun (11/1), Black Narcissus (11/1), Just Spot (16/1), Georgina Joy (20/1), Gilly Grace (20/1), Civitesses (25/1), Deckers Delight (33/1)

Verdict

There are very few that you could put in the improvers category although Odello would qualify after showing some marked improvement last time out at Hereford when running into one who may well have been ahead of its mark. BISOUBISOU is another who is going the right way and this trip may well suit her better and the 4lb rise for her last win doesn’t look excessive especially with the Olly Murphy yard still in good form. Staunton can’t be ruled out although she is yet to win a race and despite the fact that Black Narcissus isn’t the most straightforward a return to hurdles and the second time back from a wind operation may be the time to catch her. One at a big price who takes the eye is Georgina Joy who shaped well at Towcester last time out and might be worth a second look.
