Forecasts

Queens Brook (6/5), Brave Way (11/4), Politesse (9/2), Anna Bunina (5/1), The Getaway Star (22/1), Fairyhill Run (50/1), Skyace (66/1), Kitty Galore (100/1)

Verdict

QUEENS BROOK only scrambled home on her hurdle debut but her bumper ability suggests she should be capable of a fair bit better and she's preferred to Henry de Bromhead's Brave Way, who also comes here on the back of a recent hurdle debut success. Anna Bunina was a little below par at Cheltenham last weekend but could also play a part if close to her best.

  1. QUEENS BROOK (IRE)
  2. BRAVE WAY (IRE)
  3. ANNA BUNINA (FR)
