Forecasts

Top And Drop (5/4), Funny Oyster (4/1), Knightly Pleasure (4/1), Hope's Wishes (5/1), Dites Rien (5/1), A Montmartre (12/1)

Verdict

A tricky little race from a betting perspective as they all have something to prove for one reason or another. However, TOP AND DROP is back over hurdles off a winnable mark and she is taken to have the edge over Knightly Pleasure, who is open to improvement but needs to up the ante from recent performances. Hope's Wishes won this last year and has claims on the pick of her efforts but has been out of sorts lately, so a bigger threat may be posed by A Montmartre who has speed from the Flat and can make an impact if her stamina holds out.
