Forecasts

Katahdin (11/8), Sir Valentine (4/1), Kilbrook (5/1), Steal A March (11/2), Young Lieutenant (8/1), Graceful James (33/1), First Revolution (40/1), Banana Joe (40/1), Uther Pendragon (50/1), Silver Nickel (80/1)

An interesting novices' hurdle which should yield a plethora of future winners with First Revolution, Katahdin, Steal A March and Young Lieutenant among those in with a shout. However, the pair to focus upon are seemingly Sir Valentine and KILBROOK. The Nigel Twiston-Davies runner was in the process of running a mighty race on his hurdles debut at Chepstow when taking a tumble at the final flight, and will undoubtedly attract plenty of interest. However, the preferred option is the former pointer and hurdles newcomer Kilbrook who shaped encouragingly (on debut for Jonjo O'Neill) in a bumper at that same track the following afternoon.
