Forecasts

Aquarian (2/1), Strong Resemblance (9/4), Rockalzaro (7/1), Fearsome Fred (8/1), Red Admirable (9/1), Damier (10/1), Copperfacejack (10/1), Miss Mayfair (25/1)

AQUARIAN has improved with racing since joining this yard and he can complete a double by taking this staying handicap hurdle. Bottome weight Damier looks capable of finishing one place better than at Ludlow last time out and he can take second ahead of Strong Resemblance who has been in good form over fences of late.
