Forecasts

Never Dark (4/5), Tommy de Vito (3/1), Mountain Brave (9/1), Behind The Wall (12/1), Raadea (16/1), Cock A Hoop (22/1)

An interesting novice event. Raadea hails from a stable whose AW 3yos are in fine fettle, but he does need a lot of improvement. Mountain Brave should appreciate the drop back to 6f and can go well along with Tommy De Vito, while Never Dark looks capable of another big run. However, BEHIND THE WALL represents a good team whose 3yos are in good form and he might trump them all with a winning debut.
