Forecasts

Admiral Barratry (1/1), Wallace Spirit (5/2), Hidden Glen (5/1), Hugos Horse (8/1), L'auberge Du Bois (20/1)

This represents a good chance for ADMIRAL BARRATRY to open his account with his form looking to be much the best of these having nearly caused a surprise when last seen at Newbury. Hugos Horse is an interesting contender for last year’s winning trainer as he returns to the stable after winning a point-to-point having been pulled up in a novice hurdle when previously with the Nicholls yard and the tongue-tie now goes on. Wallace Spirit looks as though he has ability but also his share of temperament and that may hold him back again.
