Forecasts

Della Casa Lunga (2/1), Pretending (4/1), Fortuna Ligna (4/1), Time In The Sun (7/1), Holly Hartingo (11/1), Space Voyage (11/1), Midnightreflection (12/1), Phillapa Sue (16/1)

7 lb-conditional Cameron Iles has a very healthy strike-rate in handicap hurdles this season and can boost that further on DELLA CASA LUNGA, who looks fairly treated up 6 lb for her course win 3 weeks ago even before her rider's allowance is taken into account. Handicap newcomer Time in The Sun is an interesting opponent, while Pretending should also have a say if her stamina holds now stepping up to 3m.
