Forecasts

Le Curieux (4/1), Soulsaver (4/1), Great Tempo (9/2), Cropley (5/1), Tudors Treasure (17/2), Dark Invader (9/1), Youngoconnor (10/1), Findusatgorcombe (12/1), One Leader (18/1), Rule The Ocean (20/1)

Verdict

None of these have particularly exciting form, but DARK INVADER was lightly-raced over hurdles and improvement can be expected now he switches to fences. He may have failed to get off the mark over the smaller obstacles, but he shaped somewhat encouragingly, and conditions here are unlikely to pose a problem. With so many chasing newcomers it's difficult to tell who will appreciate the switch to fence, but others who could go well are Soulsaver and Great Tempo.
