Forecasts

Geezer Rockstar (1/1), Tinklers Hill (2/1), Canty Bay (9/4), Sun Joy (9/4), Pride Of Paris (6/1), Kick Up A Storm (20/1), Outside Adesa (40/1), Exmoor Lad (66/1), Lady Corrib (150/1), Stancheski (300/1), Brucie Bonus (400/1), Fox Wallace (400/1)

Verdict

Ben Pauling's French recruit SUN JOY has already shown some fairly useful form in this sphere so is fancied to put that experience to good use and fend off newcomers Tinklers Hill and Geezer Rockstar, who are both in good hands and bring plenty of potential in an intriguing maiden hurdle.
