Forecasts

Purdey's Gift (11/8), Fearless Warrior (4/1), Dance To Paris (9/2), Author's Dream (11/1), Wanaasah (12/1), Divine Gift (18/1), Praeceps (20/1), Cotton Club (40/1), Forth Bridge (40/1), Monjeni (50/1)

Verdict

DANCE TO PARIS took the eye with her game attitude when winning at this track just under a month ago and while the handicapper has tried to give a sustainable penalty, the 5lb claim of the jockey is taking and is effect on a similar mark for her latest success. Purdey's Gift also comes into this under a fine run of form and while his stamina is unproven, his racing style suggests this should be no problem, while the likes of Praeceps and Forth Bridge have proven to be good sorts over hurdles and if that form comes across on the level they may go close.
  1. Dance To Paris
  2. Purdey's Gift
  3. Praeceps
