Forecasts

Bold Reaction (6/4), Holetown Hero (5/2), High Game Royal (7/2), Kayf Legend (6/1), Killaloan (14/1), Kenzai Warrior (16/1), Eye Knee (20/1), Broomfields Cave (25/1), Dark Duomo (66/1), Nordy Lordy (100/1), Pappa Rocco Coco (125/1), Libor Lad (150/1), Kaylen's Mischief (150/1), Blueblood (200/1)

Verdict

Point/bumper winner BOLD REACTION is likely to build on his Sandown hurdle debut third and is preferred to Kenzai Warrior, who showed enough to think he can translate his Flat ability to hurdles when fourth at Huntingdon recently, and Philip Hobbs's Lingfield runner-up High Game Royal. Holetown Hero would also enter the reckoning if turning out (due to run at Plumpton on Tuesday).

  1. BOLD REACTION (FR)
  2. KENZAI WARRIOR (USA)
  3. HIGH GAME ROYAL (FR)
