Forecasts

Digby (11/4), Multifactorial (10/3), Flurry Yeats (4/1), Valley Breeze (9/2), Grozni (6/1), Bout Time Bobby (7/1), Moakland (8/1), Dinero Falso (17/2), Red Romeo (11/1), My Ladeen (33/1), Sporting Leader (40/1), Rucinski (40/1), Drumlee Lake (40/1), Grove Cottage (50/1), Do No More (80/1)

Verdict

Hard to make a case for any of these, with VALLEY BREEZE selected to overcome a 2-year absence run to a level more in-keeping with his bumper ability on second hurdles start. Dinero Falso and Multifactorial look the chief threats.

  1. VALLEY BREEZE (FR)
  2. DINERO FALSO
  3. MULTIFACTORIAL (IRE)
