Forecasts
Island Confusion (1/1), Circus Star (5/1), Lough Kent (7/1), Deepsand (7/1), Lexi's Boy (10/1), Lady Buttons (20/1), Captain Clayton (25/1), Deep Resolve (33/1), Age Of Glory (50/1)
An interesting and compact handicap hurdle in which many of the runners have claims. Both Captain Clayton and Lady Buttons are capable performers on their day and could possibly step up markedly on recent efforts. Deep Resolve is a tough character, but will need to dig deep from this mark against some attractively handicapped rivals which include Island Confusion and Circus Star. However, at his very best, LEXI'S BOY has outstanding claims here off a mark of 114, having notched a quickfire hurdles hat-trick back in 2012 at Ascot, Ayr and Sandown off marks of 120, 130 and 132. His Flat form during 2016 suggests he retains a fair level of ability at the age of nine.
