Forecasts
Cool Macavity (7/4), Sailors Warn (3/1), Hollywood Road (4/1), Raven's Tower (11/2), Castafiore (8/1), Surf And Turf (9/1)
A small and compact field, but not the easiest race to solve. Both Hollywood Road and Cool Macavity resume their hurdling careers after racing on the Flat of late. The former is certainly in better current form than the latter, who has been raced sparingly by Nicky Henderson in recent years. However, the horse of most interest is RAVEN'S TOWER. He has proved himself as a fair 2m handicap chaser, and appears to be the type of horse that is best caught fresh. Assuming a prolonged spell over fences hasn't diminished his prowess over hurdles, he could well prove the pick in an open contest.
