Forecasts

Soft Risk (2/9), Hector Master (4/1), Warriors Story (12/1), Scots Poet (22/1), Racks Cross (25/1), Fethard Glory (33/1), Lewa House (50/1), Goast Dancer (50/1), Room At The Top (66/1), Chinese Spirit (100/1), Breaking Records (200/1)

Verdict

Having landed a bumper and novice hurdle at Ayr without being fully tested, SOFT RISK is likely to extend his unbeaten record in what strikes as a thin race on paper. Hector Master, who was shaping up well prior to falling on his first outing over timber 97 days ago, looks the obvious danger.

  1. SOFT RISK (FR)
  2. HECTOR MASTER (FR)
  3. SCOTS POET
