Forecasts

Choice Of Words (11/10), Explosive Boy (3/1), Derrylinda (7/2), Sam's Choice (9/2), Freedom To Dream (10/1), Rightful Mind (40/1), Pyramid Hill (150/1), Emperor Dani (250/1)

Verdict

Based on bumper form, CHOICE OF WORDS is the most talented one in this field and shouldn't have any issue with obstacles, so he's narrowly preferred to Sam's Choice, who fits a similar mould. Derrylinda is another one to consider in what could prove to be an above-average maiden hurdle.
