Forecasts

Chocolat Noir (15/8), Angel's Envy (7/2), Court Baloo (6/1), Lawtop Legend (6/1), Oscar Ceremony (7/1), Quivvy Lough (10/1), Benarty Hill (20/1), Elixer (20/1), Moorlands Mist (40/1)

Verdict

Ideally CHOCOLAT NOIR would appreciate conditions to be riding softer than forecast, but in a very winnable opener to the new jumps season at Hexham Martin Todhunter's mare can prove capable of following up a recent Cartmel success. Lightly raced for Olly Murphy, the handicap debutante Quivvy Lough is considered the main danger with the consistent maiden Angel's Envy and the course regular Lawtop Legend both place possibles.
  1. Chocolat Noir
