Forecasts

Crosshue Boy (6/4), Getoutwhenyoucan (10/3), Soul Kaliber (4/1), Consharon Boy (9/2), Burning Issues (14/1)

Verdict

The handicapper has taken note of Crosshue's Boy's winning performance and has reassessed him in line with that effort when beating higher rated rivals in a novice contest. He had the best of things out front but battled on well to score and he will surely use his stamina to test his rivals. GETOUTWHENYOUCAN is a quirky sort who usually bounces back from a poor run and who comes into this on an attractive weight compared to that over hurdles. An 8lb rise in his hurdling mark this season is not reflected in his chase rating and that leaves him looking an attractive proposition with the prospect of a tongue-tie correcting whatever ailed him last time.
  1. Getoutwhenyoucan
