Forecasts

Fury Road (8/11), Face The Odds (11/4), Bois De Clamart (10/1), Tecumseh Sherman (12/1), Enjoy D'allen (12/1), I'mstillyourbaby (25/1), So Near So Farhh (33/1), Sam Missile (50/1), Orena Bay (66/1), Rossderrin (66/1), A Three Eighty (66/1), Ringhill Lady (100/1), Missie's Boy (100/1), Rubiana (100/1)

Verdict

FURY ROAD is well regarded by connections and can build on some of the best bumper form on show in this contest to land this before going on to better things. The fact he is also entered in a Listed novice hurdle later in the week suggests this race should easily be in his reach. Bois De Clamart should be better for a recent outing and while he has had his training problems when seeing a racecourse he rarely lets connections down. So Near So Farhh was very consistent on the Flat and if relishing the switch to hurdles he certainly has the stamina to run well on his debut.
