Forecasts

Huflower (11/4), Storm Dennis (3/1), Holly (7/2), Braveheart (7/2), Natty Night (13/2), San Giovanni (25/1), Hartnoll Hero (25/1), Great D'Ange (28/1), Island Run (33/1), Honestlyntrufully (50/1), Mister Splash (100/1), Rubys Reward (150/1), Robbie Dazzler (150/1), Jump Over The Moon (150/1), Hot In The City (200/1), Miss Marette (200/1), Barford Diva (300/1), Gorcombe Moonshine (300/1)

Verdict

HUFLOWER and Holly both come from races working out well, but slight preference is for the former, who seems sure to do much better with that run under his belt. Venetia Williams is in good form at present, so Natty Night, a fairly useful performer on the Flat, is far from discounted on this switch to hurdles.

  1. HUFLOWER (FR)
  2. HOLLY (FR)
  3. NATTY NIGHT
