Forecasts

Brandisova (5/2), Poniente (11/4), Wind Tor (7/2), The Toojumpa (4/1), Lilith (9/2), Midnight Calamity (12/1), Cut And Run (14/1), Bleue Away (14/1), Jerminnie Green (20/1), Goodnight Charlie (20/1)

Verdict

BRANDISOVA didn't pay the hurdles much respect when an improved second to the unbeaten Love Envoi in a Warwick novice last time, but she promises to be suited by this stiffer test and may well make a winning chase debut if taking to fences at the first attempt. Lilith deserves to get her head in front and should be firmly in the mix, while Poniente and The Toojumpa are others to consider.
