Forecasts

Verdict

Blue Flight has shaped with promise in both starts over hurdles and should be contending to win soon while both Nando and Lovely Schtuff have shown their credentials in front-running so far in maiden/novice races. The fear for both now is a shared desire to be in front. LE FRANK ran a poor race on his handicap bow at Haydock in January but had previously displayed clear ability in this sort of company. Venetia Williams has her string in fine fettle right now and he could be answer.
  1. Le Frank
