Forecasts

Queens Brook (2/7), Small Bad Bob (7/1), Capilano Bridge (7/1), Decimation (8/1), Gua Du Large (10/1), Union Park (12/1), Defan (14/1), Hardwired (25/1), Sand And Water (66/1), General Clermont (80/1), Boss Girl (80/1), Master Of De Style (100/1), Coole Arcade (125/1), The Declaimer (125/1), Cratloe (150/1), Daughter Of Oscar (150/1), Moyler (150/1), Lord Rivers (150/1), San Fantastic (200/1)

QUEENS BROOK created an excellent impression in bumpers last season and has the potential to make up into a leading novice hurdler this winter, especially once having her stamina tested. Henry de Bromhead saddles a pair of interesting newcomers in Decimation and Gua du Large and market support for either would need respecting.
