Forecasts

Fairway Freddy (3/1), Malangen (7/2), Chilli Romance (9/2), Shadow's Girl (6/1), Maratt (13/2), Amirr (10/1), Hoover Fever (14/1), Sid Hoodie (16/1), Fred's Filly (33/1), Demand Respect (66/1)

Verdict

Not a race that exudes strength in depth with the two that are likely to towards the head of the market consistent sorts but Malangen and Chili Romance have a hurdles record of 0-19 between them and that means that some value is likely to exist elsewhere. Handicap debutantes Fairway Freddie and Sid Hoodie are of some interest as is Hoover Fever from the in-form Tizzard yard although she was flattered by the easy lead she was allowed last time. It may be worth rolling the dice here and taking a chance with MARATT with the Seamus Mullins yard going nicely at the moment. He would have finished a lot closer were it not for a bad mistake last time having shown promise on his previous two starts.
  1. Maratt
  2. Malangen
  3. Fairway Freddy
