Forecasts

We Have A Dream (7/4), Verdana Blue (5/2), If The Cap Fits (5/2), Redicean (9/1), Air Horse One (33/1), Smaoineamh Alainn (40/1), John Constable (50/1)

Verdict

A fascinating renewal with untapped potential on show. Nicky Henderson clearly holds a very strong hand with both Verdana Blue who looks to be on her way to the top after a bloodless success on her return and WE HAVE A DREAM. Preference is for the last-named who comes here fresh having had a wonderful juvenile campaign that finished with a comfortable success in the Doom Bar at Aintree. He has so much potential in this sphere and looks Champion Hurdle material. If The Cap Fits is unbeaten over hurdles and also comes here with plenty more to give. I very much doubt we have seen the best of Redicean and he completes the short-list in a super contest.
  1. We Have A Dream
  2. Verdana Blue
  3. If The Cap Fits
