11/4

Fairly useful hurdler who ran respectably back in a novice when runner-up over C&D 15 days ago, but is starting to become expensive to follow.

10/3

Forecasts

Jac Brown (10/11), Johnny B (11/4), Licklighter (10/3), Pollards Fen (12/1), Percussion (14/1), Sussex Road (250/1)

JAC BROWN clearly benefited for a 7-month break and first-time tongue strep when off the mark over hurdles in good style over C&D 3 weeks ago, so he looks the one to beat back in novice company now he’s up and running. Johnny B is starting to prove expensive to follow, so Licklighter is considered the main threat.
