Forecasts

Altobelli (6/4), Largy Train (2/1), Hunter Legend (10/3), Ginny's Destiny (7/2), Kentanddover (8/1), Herakles Westwood (9/1), Commander Of Ten (11/1), Hermin D'oudairies (16/1), Ardenay (22/1), Jethro Said (50/1)

Verdict

HUNTER LEGEND was done for a turn of foot in a messy bumper at Ffos Las but is well worth another chance to confirm his debut run over this C&D in the hope this is run at a sound pace. Largy Train has to be of interest starting out for Paul Nicholls while Altobelli could be the pick of a strong-looking trio of debutants.

  1. HUNTER LEGEND (FR)
  2. LARGY TRAIN
  3. ALTOBELLI (IRE)
