Forecasts

Game Line (5/2), Midnight Magic (3/1), Manofthemountain (7/2), Primal Focus (7/2), Ruffling Feathers (6/1)

Verdict

Both of the chasing newcomers hold some interest although Ruffling Feathers will need to do better than his hurdles form recently, he’s not badly handicapped on his bumper form. MANOFTHEMOUNTAIN is sent chasing quickly for his new connections, unsurprisingly given his pedigree with his trainer having a 21% strike-rate with her handicap chasing debutantes; a winning debut may not be beyond him. The Christian Williams pair can’t be ruled out although both have made mistakes of late that have cost them chances in the latter stages of races – Game Line is preferred to Primal Focus in that little battle although both look looks sure to be suited by this test.
