Forecasts

Since Day One (8/13), Soft Risk (5/4), East Street (3/1), King Of Unicorns (4/1), Mr Dealer (18/1), Black Minster (50/1), Cresswell Queen (50/1), Ballytobin (80/1), Uncle Gez (100/1)

Verdict

SOFT RISK has looked good in winning an Ayr bumper and a novice hurdle there on his reappearance last month, and he looks destined for better things. Fellow hurdles debut winners Since Day One and East Street rate the main dangers, in that order of preference, while King of Unicorns is worth a second look having hit the target in a bumper here last time.
