Forecasts

Blue Monday (2/1), Loud As Lions (11/4), Schnabel (6/1), Mr Palmtree (15/2), Overawed (9/1), Top Decision (12/1), Ballybreen (12/1), Phoenix Song (25/1), Moonlight Camp (33/1)

Verdict

If the start that LOUD AS LIONS made to his chasing career at Hereford is repeated here the others will be struggling even though Tom Symonds charge has 9lb extra to cope with, this course lending itself to another front-running display. Overawed can’t be ignored but she will have to produce a career-best while Schnabel will need to jump better to get involved although he’s undeniably well handicapped on his hurdles form. Perhaps the most fascinating runner is Blue Monday, the Fergal O’Brien stable can do little wrong at the moment and switched to handicaps off a basement mark with headgear on he’s one to watch in the betting markets.
  1. Loud As Lions
  2. Schnabel
  3. Blue Monday
