Forecasts

Ribble Valley (5/6), Master Debonair (3/1), McFabulous (4/1), Time Flies By (9/1)

A small yet extremely select field for the Grade 2 Kennel Gate. Mcfabulous has reportedly been well schooled since a disappointing hurdles debut at Chepstow while the talented Master Debonair has the all-important C&D hurdles experience, unlike the four-year-old Cheltenham bumper winner Time Flies By. However, the upwardly mobile RIBBLE VALLEY is surely one of the most exciting novice hurdlers to trek south for many a moon, and is truly the apple of Nicky Richards eye. He took a massive leap forward from Hexham when thrashing the Newbury winner Sir Valentine by a ever-widening 11L at Wetherby (2m, soft) and is strongly fancied to make his mark in graded company.
