Forecasts

Kansas City Chief (7/4), Sun Cloud (5/1), Sam Red (13/2), Rocky's Treasure (7/1), Jaunty Flyer (8/1), A Vos Gardes (8/1), Jeannot De Nonant (10/1), Minella On Line (12/1)

Verdict

SAM RED can provide Dan Skelton with a winner in what looks a competitive handicap hurdle. The selection made mistakes when disappointing over fences last time out with today's forecast going conditions and the switch back to hurdles both likely to suit. Kansas City Chief has been in good form in recent starts and while a beaten odds-on favourite last time out he looks capable of running well again today and can finish second ahead of Rocky's Treasure who remains open to improvement having had just six starts to date.
  1. Sam Red
  2. Kansas City Chief
  3. Rocky's Treasure
