Forecasts

Sam's Adventure (4/5), Lord Du Mesnil (4/1), Ask Paddington (9/2), Bialco (5/1), Stop Talking (5/1)

Verdict

Lord Du Mesnil is an 18-race maiden but he's better than those bare figures suggest and has ran a couple of respectable races over C&D this season, most notably in the French Furze (third) in December. On the book, both Sam's Adventure and Bialco have a fraction more to do to improve past the Richard Hobson-trained runner but with cheekpieces now applied, there's every chance that the former can do so. However, the preferred option is the stamina-laden mare STOP TALKING. She has improved since undergoing wind surgery and arrives seeking a four-timer following winter wins at Southwell, Ludlow and Uttoxeter.
  1. Stop Talking
  2. Sam's Adventure
