Forecasts

Verdict

THE GREY FALCO hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles and he bumped into an above-average recruit when second in a Ludlow novice last time. He holds Balleticon on that evidence and is taken to go one better here. Franigane made an encouraging start in this sphere at Ffos Las and is second choice ahead of Here Comes McCoy.

  1. THE GREY FALCO (FR)
  2. FRANIGANE (FR)
  3. HERE COMES MCCOY (IRE)
