Forecasts

Firestream (6/5), Ballyhigh (7/2), The Brew Master (11/2), Rath Gaul Hill (11/2), Spring Meadow (10/1), Gunnery Officer (14/1), Hercules Morse (14/1), Hurricane Highway (16/1), Great Name That (33/1), Propelled (33/1), Desert Fortune (125/1), Our Flying Angel (250/1), Exmoor Forest (300/1), Orange Gina (300/1), Coal Fire (300/1)

Verdict

This looks quite a deep novice but FIRESTREAM looked useful when making a winning hurdles debut at Chepstow last month and is taken to defy a penalty. Rath Gaul Hill can leave the bare form he achieved here last month behind and he's a threat, while the market may help sort out the pecking order of the Henderson-trained trio.

  1. FIRESTREAM
  2. RATH GAUL HILL (IRE)
  3. THE BREW MASTER (IRE)
