Forecasts

Zaidi (1/2), Kalanisi Flash (10/3), Charming Fortune (9/2), D'jo Dela Barriere (10/1), The Nagger Reidy (16/1), Moig Raven (28/1), Evans Secret (33/1), Menrva (50/1), Derby De Thaix (80/1), Grizzley Adams (80/1), Midweek Voices (125/1), Ar Aghaidh (150/1), Four Shares (150/1), Perfect Pupil (200/1)

Verdict

ZAIDI is proving a shade expensive to follow as a hurdler, but he went down only narrowly on his return at Gowan last month and is surely up to winning a race such as this. Charming Fortune and Kalanisi Flash look the obvious threats.

  1. ZAIDI (FR)
  2. CHARMING FORTUNE (IRE)
  3. KALANISI FLASH (IRE)
