Forecasts

The Questioner (15/8), Betterforeveryone (3/1), Sporting Ace (4/1), Halifax (5/1), Buttsbury Lady (8/1), General Probus (17/2), One For The Wall (17/2), Four Horsemen (18/1), Golden Cosmos (33/1)

Verdict

SPORTING ACE was impressive on hurdling debut and lost little in defeat to a highly-promising rival in a novice at Exeter last time. An opening mark of 116 might underestimate him and he's fancied to get the better of Betterforeveryone, who opened his account at Bangor despite jumping none too fluently and should improve again. The Questioner boasts a steadily progressive profile, so he's also worthy of interest.
