Forecasts

Secret Escape (1/3), Tillythetank (7/2), Mrs Miggins (10/1), Dubai Dirham (10/1), Admiral's Sunset (10/1), Never Go Short (25/1), Spirit Of Mendip (33/1), Kentford Mallard (40/1), Oborne Lady (50/1), Quite Right (66/1), Celtic Style (100/1), Arthur's Queen (100/1)

Verdict

There is very little strength in depth in this event so it looks a good opporutnity for decent bumper performer SECRET ESCAPE to make a winning debut over hurdles. Admiral's Sunset is an interesting recruit from the Flat and wouldn't be without a chance if taking to timber, while Tillythetank should improve on her fair first effort six months ago. Spirit of Mendip and Never Go Short are others worth a glance.
  1. Secret Escape
