1/33

Useful chaser who had little trouble landing a C&D novice by 8 lengths on return to this sphere last month. Has a formidable opponent to overcome, but still well respected under a penalty.

Forecasts

Equus Dancer (1/33), The Bomber Liston (6/5), Master Of Spin (11/1), Flames Of Passion (12/1), Mister Sweets (14/1)

This looks a match between hurdling newcomer THE BOMBER LISTON and recent C&D winner Equus Dancer. The first-named showed plenty without winning in bumpers and should prove well suited by this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over the more battle-hardened 7-y-o, who won't go down without a fight.
