Forecasts

Balko Saint (11/10), Eminent Poet (6/4), Ultimate Getaway (4/1)

Not much to choose between BALKO SAINT and Eminent Poet on hurdles form but the emphasis on speed at this trip should suit the former. Ultimate Getaway has plenty to find on hurdles form but it wouldn't be a surprise if he made his presence felt with doubts surrounding his 2 rivals.
