Forecasts

Barbados Blue (1/8), Prophets Prayer (6/1), Viking Ruby (40/1)

Nicky Henderson has found the perfect race for BARBADOS BLUE to break the maiden tag over hurdles at the third time of asking. She rallied when chasing home Birds Of Prey at Taunton (2m3f+), should be suited by stepping up in trip (as a sister to the 3m winner More Bucks) and can hold all of the aces over her sole realistic rival Prophets Prayer.
