Forecasts

Brewin'upastorm (3/1), Amour de Nuit (4/1), Thibault (9/2), Gortroe Joe (5/1), Jolly's Cracked It (6/1), Air Horse One (17/2), Westend Story (25/1), Eamon An Cnoic (33/1), Swift Crusador (33/1), Canyon City (40/1)

Verdict

A few of these arrive on retrieval missions but THIBAULT has been in excellent nick since joining Adam West yet still figures on a good mark so is taken to record hurdling win number three. Gortroe Joe is another who brings excellent recent form to the table so Fergal O'Brien's Market Rasen scorer is rated next best ahead of the consistent Amour de Nuit.

  1. THIBAULT
  2. GORTROE JOE (IRE)
  3. AMOUR DE NUIT (IRE)
