Forecasts

Valentino Dancer (4/5), Stepney Causeway (2/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (13/2), Oval Street (25/1)

Verdict

Ready preference is for VALENTINO DANCER, who jumped well in the main when second to an in-form rival on debut in this sphere at Southwell and he remains 2 lb below his last winning hurdles mark. Stepney Causeway is the only conceivable threat, with Dr T J Eckleburg showing little spark sent chasing of late and Oval Street a long way out of the handicap.

  1. VALENTINO DANCER
  2. STEPNEY CAUSEWAY
  3. DR T J ECKLEBURG (IRE)
