Forecasts

Kingston James (5/4), Maghlaak (7/4), Solent Gateway (11/2), Born In The West (10/1), Farmer Jimmy (25/1), Big Storm Brewing (33/1), Soldier Dan (40/1), Burglar's Dream (50/1), Lazy Bones (80/1)

Verdict

A fairly useful winner on the Flat, MAGHLAAK caught the eye when staying on for fourth at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago and he is taken to build on that effort to open his hurdles account. Kingston James could bounce back in a first-time hood and is feared most, ahead of hurdling-debutant Solent Gateway.

  1. MAGHLAAK
  2. KINGSTON JAMES (IRE)
  3. SOLENT GATEWAY (IRE)
