Forecasts

Stooshie (7/2), Na Trachtalai Abu (7/2), Internal Transfer (4/1), Alto Esqua (4/1), Capture The Drama (8/1), Damut (10/1), Great Khan (12/1), Fenlon's Hill (14/1)

Verdict

Plenty of negatives and few positives so the market will be a good guide. Stooshie rates better than these on his hurdling form but he has been below that standard since the switch to fences. Fenlon's Hill has conditions in his favour and, although fully weighted, could be ready to run a big race after a run over hurdles recently. Great Khan reportedly made a noise last time indicating a breathing problem and Damut jumped poorly. Course specialist Internal Transfer could have a big say and his chances would improve dramatically if there was rain. ALTO ESQUA has been difficult to train but the market anticipated better last time and he is a tentative selection in the hope the extra 3f helps
  1. Alto Esqua
  2. Internal Transfer
  3. Stooshie
