Forecasts

Storm Home (8/11), Jurby (2/1), Choix Des Armes (8/1), Come On Charlie (14/1), Dont Be Robin (16/1), Let's Be Happy (50/1), Hardness (50/1), Cap St Vincent (66/1), Definite Winner (150/1), Geni Johnson (150/1), Nanny Makfi (150/1)

Verdict

Only Jurby and Storm Home turn up with winning hurdles form here, though the former has to prove that he is over a broken blood vessel from last time, while the latter has a penalty to contend with. Therefore, the suggestion is to take both on here with CHOIX DES ARMES, who made a nice enough reappearance after wind surgery last time and could now begin to show improvement. Come On Charlie is another who could do that this time, while Dont Be Robin surprised a few people last time and looks to have at least frame claims again.
  1. Choix Des Armes
  2. Storm Home
  3. Come On Charlie
