Forecasts

Le Patron (11/4), Mountain Leopard (4/1), Baddesley (9/2), Zestful Hope (5/1), Northern Poet (8/1), Pilsdon Pen (8/1), Ben Bulben (17/2), Super Duper Sam (9/1), Storm Hill (11/1), Thirtyfourstitches (20/1)

Verdict

The 4-y-o hurdle LE PATRON finished runner-up in when trained in France this summer worked out very well and having transferred to a successful yard, he looks well weighted. Pilsdon Pen can boast a superb record in handicaps and he is a threat, with Mountain Leopard and Ben Bulben potential improvers.
