Forecasts

Booyakasha (11/8), Snougar (7/4), Chasseur De Tete (4/1), Cyprus Avenue (13/2), Biennial (11/1), The Hard Shoulder (11/1), Jackhammer (14/1), Specialist (25/1)

An ordinary novice event in which hurdling debutant Jackhammer would not have to be much out of the ordinary to be in the shake-up. Cyprus Avenue did not shape too badly on debut over timber and looks the best of two runners from her stable and The Hard Shoulder should do better now he is hurdling. However, this may rest between Booyakasha, Chasseur De Tete and SNOUGAR, with the latter, who took a big step forward from his debut run, given the nod on the assumption further improvement is to come.
