Forecasts

Proper Ticket (5/2), Calle Malva (7/2), Blossoming Forth (9/2), Raddle And Hum (5/1), Chanting Hill (5/1), Bonny Houxty (18/1), Atlantic Dancer (25/1)

Verdict

Proper Ticket is interesting with the champion jockey-elect booked but the forecast ground is a source of concern. RADDLE AND HUM went close over Christmas at Wetherby in a similar event and likely didn't get home since at Catterick. Back down in trip, she gets the nod though both Calle Malva and Chanting Hill are potential improvers.
  1. Raddle And Hum
  2. Chanting Hill
  3. Calle Malva
