Forecasts

Where's Hector (11/8), Gold Miner (2/1), Haas Boy (3/1), Not What It Seems (7/1), Last One To Show (66/1), Karapiro Doug (250/1), Galaxy Dancer (300/1)

Verdict

GOLD MINER has shown a fair level of form in 4 starts over hurdles and the addition of cheekpieces can help him get off the mark. Having had 14 months off prior to this season, the 9-y-o can step up again to see off the challenge of Haas Boy, who has more to offer up in trip but has a penalty to carry for his Huntingdon success. Where's Hector can give his running but looks to be vulnerable once more for win purposes.
