Forecasts

An Tailliur (7/2), Earlofthecotswolds (4/1), Our Surprise (11/2), On To Victory (13/2), Heross Du Seuil (13/2), Marie's Rock (15/2), Ecco (17/2), Commanche Red (14/1), Hydroplane (16/1), Albert Van Ornum (50/1)

Verdict

This is his toughest assignment yet, but AN TAILLIUR is just about the most progressive handicap hurdler around at present, winning his last 6 completed starts, and with his limit not yet reached, he can pass this test. Earlofthecotswolds also arrives on a roll and has to be feared, along with Our Surprise, who remains unexposed.
