Forecasts

General Officer (6/5), Harel Du Marais (5/2), Sanosuke (4/1), Glasses Up (6/1), Telhimlisten (18/1), My Macho Man (50/1), Into The Fire (66/1), Big Arthur (200/1), Civil Justice Gone (250/1), Twenty's Plenty (250/1)

Verdict

With only a handful of these making any serious appeal, this looks a golden opportunity for Irish-raider HAREL DU MARAIS to open his account. Stuart Crawford's charge remains open to improvement and he's likely to take some stopping. Second choice is General Officer, who showed plenty to work on in a bumper at Carlisle just under 3 weeks ago and he should make his presence felt on hurdling debut. Sanosuke can fill out third spot.

  1. HAREL DU MARAIS (FR)
  2. GENERAL OFFICER (IRE)
  3. SANOSUKE (IRE)
