Forecasts

Avada Kedavra (10/11), Largy Force (11/2), Rhodia (7/1), Garitsa Bay (9/1), Deerstalker (9/1), My Granny Lily (16/1), Gentle Victor (25/1), Secret Sauce (40/1), Rebel Mc (50/1), Camino Rocio (66/1), Nick The Greek (80/1), Den The Diva (125/1)

Verdict

AVADA KEDAVRA showed distinct signs of promise on his first of 3 novice/maiden hurdles earlier this term and, very much appealing as the type to do better now handicapping, Nicky Henderson's well-bred sort is of definite interest here. Garitsa Bay, who very much caught the eye at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago, is another to consider, along with Warren Greatrex's mare Largy Force.
