Forecasts

Manimole (13/8), River Of Joy (2/1), Ma Belle Noire (10/3), Sunday Soldier (9/2), Maggie O (25/1), Horizon Dove (50/1), Pocket Of Pennies (125/1), The Swede (200/1), Mrs Jones (300/1)

Verdict

RIVER OF JOY only had to run to a modest level to come out on top at Ffos Las last month, but this is another weak affair and she still has scope for further improvement based on her bumper form, especially with the step up in trip likely to suit, so she's more appealing than Manimole and Ma Belle Noire, who both look fully exposed now. Sunday Solider was verging on fair in bumpers and could emerge as the chief threat now going hurdling for another new stable.
