Forecasts
Midnight Cowboy (6/4), Bistouri D'honore (5/1), Milord (11/2), Aunty Ann (7/1), Avithos (8/1), Lady Of Longstone (10/1), Plan Again (20/1), Orchard Boy (20/1), The Greenvet (66/1)
It's notable that Avithos won over C&D last time in taking fashion, and she'll be a player if overcoming the weight rise and proving she can act on softer ground, while Orchard Boy is taking time to adjust to hurdles but has young Fergus Gregory claiming a massive 10lb off his back today. They could be the ones to serve it up to MIDNIGHT COWBOY, who has top weight to defy but has definitely been improving of late and has only gone up 7lb for two very good recent performances at Doncaster.
- Midnight Cowboy
- Avithos
