Forecasts

Borice (2/5), Fortified Bay (7/4), Barfly (28/1), Earcomesali (66/1)

With Barfly and Earcomesali requiring snookers (and plenty of them for that matter), this is a proper match between the useful former French chaser Borice and the recent C&D maiden hurdle winner FORTIFIED BAY. With the former having not competed over hurdles for well in excess of three years now, the Jennie Candlish-trained runner could feasibly just have the slight edge.
