Forecasts

A Hare Breath (11/8), Cloudy Dream (2/1), Forest Bihan (7/2), Marracudja (7/1)

Verdict

An interesting Grade Two contest and potentially a trappy one for punters, with all four runners rated within half a stone of each other. Nonetheless, we will side with A Hare Breath, who is best in at the weights today and looked a fine recruit to the chasing ranks at Bangor. Cloudy Dream is a very likeable sort and he may chase home the winner, though neither Marracudja nor Forest Bihan are ruled out. 1. A Hare Breath 2. Cloudy Dream 3. Forest Bihan
