Forecasts

Camlann (15/8), Another Rebel (11/4), Cadeau Du Bresil (5/1), Crosshue Boy (7/1), Soir De Chantenay (8/1), Pivot Bridge (14/1), Kilgefin Star (20/1), Go Forty Go (33/1)

Verdict

This is a relatively competitive handicap hurdle where many hold claims of some sort or another. Camlann has been running very consistently recently, either going close or just doing enough in the races he's won, and he should be involved again, as should Crosshue Boy, who always gives every race his all. They could be the ones to chase home CADEAU DU BRESIL. Gordon Elliott's are absolutely flying at the moment and this horse has been going from strength to strength. He can improve again with the slight increase in trip likely to suit.
  1. Cadeau Du Bresil
  2. Camlann
  3. Crosshue Boy
