Forecasts

Ventura Dragon (9/4), Falmouth Light (10/3), Wilhelm Vonvenster (7/2), Zamarkhan (5/1), Mister Manduro (10/1), Astute Boy (11/1), Fourth Of July (25/1), Gripper (33/1), Bermondsey Belle (80/1)

Verdict

The fact that WILHELM VONVENSTER was so strong in the market for his Bumper suggests he must be thought capable of much better than shown on that occasion, and connections have found a weak enough maiden for his debut over hurdles. Astute Boy is probably just the best of those with experience over obstacles and along with one time good Flat winner Ventura Dragon, may give the selection most to do.
  1. Wilhelm Vonvenster
