Forecasts

Saint Xavier (8/15), Delight Of Dubai (9/4), Bourbon Borderline (15/2)

Verdict

This looks at the mercy of SAINT XAVIER, who ran well to a point when seventh behind Redford Road in a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham on his debut on these shores, only really weakening out of it late on, and a repeat of that form shuld see him home in front here before he tackles bigger targets this spring. Delight Of Dubai already has a win to her name, which is obviously no bad thing, but she'll find it harder giving a penalty away here.
