Forecasts

An Epic Song (7/4), Mr Coldstone (7/4), Heather Rocco (11/4), Zanavi (4/1), One Down (6/1), That'll Be The Day (15/2)

Verdict

Martin Brassil's French-recruit AN EPIC SONG left his hurdling debut effort well behind when scoring at Gowran earlier this month, produced to lead on the run-in. With further improvement on the cards, he's a confident selection to follow up. Mr Coldstone didn't shape at all badly when upped markedly in grade last time so he gets the nod for second, ahead of Zanavi.
