Forecasts

Fire In His Eyes (15/8), Balbir Du Mathan (9/4), Static Jack (9/2), Red Giant (11/2), Clonalig House (12/1), Ancient Sands (16/1), Baily Moon (16/1), Brought Joe Home (66/1), Mount Oliver (80/1)

Verdict

BALBIR DU METHAN has come up against some useful novices this season and will get few easier opportunities to open his account in this sphere. He has only had three runs back from a 12 month absence and should now be in prime condition. Fire In His Eyes has patiently waited for drying ground before making his chasing debut and he makes this race more intriguing based on the progress he was showing during the autumn. Ancient Sands has an official rating of 135 over hurdles. Today's ground gives him a better chance of running close to that mark than for his previous starts over fences. If doing so he would be more than capable of springing a surprise.
  1. Balbir Du Mathan
  2. Fire In His Eyes
  3. Ancient Sands
