Forecasts

Battle Of Midway (9/10), Zola (15/8), Glamorgan Duke (7/1), Think Positive (10/1), Little Saint (66/1)

Verdict

ZOLA has the ability to land this before progressing to better things. There was plenty to like about the way she won her bumper and followed that up with a facile win on her hurdles debut at Listowel in September. If she gets her own may from the front, she may be very hard to peg back. Her main danger looks to be Battle Of Midway who stayed on well to win on his hurdles debut at Galway recently. He will do well to give weight away to his likely market rival. Think Positive needs to bounce back from a couple of poor runs but is well regarded and strong market support should be noted.
  1. Zola
