Forecasts

Queens Rock (10/11), Micronormous (11/4), Nell's Bells (9/2), Perculator (14/1), Visite Officielle (18/1), First Venture (33/1), Bowland Belle (40/1), Darsi's Darling (66/1)

Verdict

QUEENS ROCK probably didn't beat a great deal on her Southwell hurdling debut last month but she possesses plenty of potential to improve, so gets the vote to defy a penalty with this longer trip likely to suit. Micronormous made an encouraging start in this sphere at Wincanton recently and rates the main threat ahead of Nell's Bells.

  1. QUEENS ROCK (IRE)
  2. MICRONORMOUS (IRE)
  3. NELL'S BELLS (IRE)
