Forecasts

Jesuitique (11/4), Ballymillsy (11/4), Mr Harp (9/2), Welsh Saint (6/1), Poker Play (14/1), Sultans Pride (14/1), Tokyo Getaway (16/1), Mulcahys Hill (20/1), Ratfacemcdougall (33/1), Padleyourowncanoe (40/1), Fabulous Saga (40/1), Hear No Evil (66/1)

Verdict

JESUITIQUE is on the up for Dr Richard Newland and his recent second at Market Rasen has a solid look to it, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking handicap hurdle. Ballymillsy, dropping back in grade, makes plenty of appeal, and Padleyourowncanoe is an intriguing runner on his debut for Dan Skelton.
