Forecasts

Hatchet Jack (13/2), Red Rising (13/2), Clondaw Native (7/1), Aaron Lad (7/1), Classic Ben (8/1), Fingerontheswitch (9/1), Head To The Stars (10/1), Malapie (12/1), Tara View (14/1), Culture De Sivola (16/1), Zeroeshadesofgrey (20/1), Southfield Royale (20/1), Early Retirement (20/1), Bryden Boy (22/1), Planet Nine (25/1), Nautical Nitwit (28/1)

AARON LAD can complete a hat-trick in this competitive looking handicap hurdle. Richard Newland's charge has looked an improved performer of late and having had just the one start over this trip he remains open to improvement. Top weight Red Rising would appreciate any overnight rain and he can finish runner-up on this occasion while Bryden Boy represents a yard going well at present and he can finish third.
