Forecasts

El Granjero (4/9), River Of Joy (6/1), Iron D'ex (13/2), Cabhfuilfungi (7/1), Kapamazov (8/1), Hermes Boy (12/1), Petty Cash (14/1)

Verdict

EL GRANJERO cemented his positive start over hurdles faced with a good opportunity when running out an easy winner here 2 weeks ago and he looks the solid option, with the return to further rating a likely plus now handicapping. Cabhfuilfungi is an intriguing debutant for the Kerry Lee stable and needs monitoring in the market on handicap bow, whilst Kapamazov should appreciate this step back up in trip.
