Forecasts

Arthington (13/8), Clayton (2/1), Fiesole (7/2), Tara Bridge (9/2), Final Choice (7/1), The Game Is A Foot (12/1), Mr Fitzroy (14/1), Cabernet D'Alene (33/1)

Doubts can be cast over each runner in the field and this far from a select line up. Fiesole and Arthington have claims on the pick of their past form and could easily bounce back in a low-key race such as this, while Final Choicehas a C&D win to his name and can also go close if his latest starts can be bettered. However, a chance is taken that TARA BRIDGE will relish being back over hurdles and, given that he's on a handy mark, the old boy doesn't have too much to find to put a weak race to bed.
