Forecasts

The Horsechesnut (15/8), Mcginty's Dream (3/1), Imperial Prince (10/3), Sevenballs Of Fire (7/1), Katalystic (11/1), Arizona Bound (16/1)

Verdict

A trappy-looking contest. Mcginty's Dream is fully effective around Hexham and will relish the heavy ground and further rainfall which is forecast ahead of racing, but he's now a whopping 24lb higher than when scoring over this C&D in December. On the other hand the likes of Sevenballs Of Fire (returns to chasing) and Saturday's Ayr hurdles winner THE HORSECHESNUT are more generously weighted. The maiden Imperial Prince is another worthy of consideration.
