Forecasts

Kilfilum Cross (15/8), Criq Rock (3/1), De Name Evades Me (4/1), As I See It (4/1), Reikers Island (5/1), Station Master (11/2), Stockburn (7/1), Follow The Bear (8/1), Cockney Seagull (100/1), Circuit Court (100/1), Jolly Jet (250/1)

Verdict

A staying novice hurdle with some depth and interest and CRIQ ROCK may finally be able to get off the mark having shaped well here last time in a handicap looking as though this test would suit. Station Master has to give weight to the entire field but still remains with potential with Kilfilum Cross looking capable of more progress after his winning romp last time. As I See It will find life tougher under a penalty while Reikers Island will be better suited by this right-handed test having jumped out to his right last time. Two others that are of interest would be Stockburn who needs the stiff test and De Name Evades Me who made an encouraging start over hurdles and more can be expected.
  1. Criq Rock
  2. Kilfilum Cross
  3. De Name Evades Me
