Forecasts

It Sure Is (4/5), Torn And Frayed (9/2), Beyondthestorm (6/1), Bean In Trouble (10/1), Hugos Other Horse (12/1), Full Back (20/1), Whatsupwithyou (33/1), Butterwick Brook (33/1), Friends Don't Ask (50/1), Pure Country (66/1), Zhiguli (100/1)

A competitive maiden hurdle which should yield a number of future winners. Bean In Trouble and Torn And Frayed have already shown ability over hurdles, while Cue Card's half-brother Hugos Other Horse should appreciate both the step up in trip and the switch from bumpers. Furthermore, you'd imagine that Gary Moore will find suitable races for Full Back and Zhigull further down the line. However, the focus again returns to Nicky Henderson with a clear preference for IT SURE IS over Beyondthestorm. The selection locked horns with the progressive Severano at Newbury three weeks ago and that represents the strongest form in the book to date.
