Forecasts

Risk D'Argent (4/9), Grey Skies (4/6), Red Vision (85/40), Dondiam (14/1), Pot Of Paint (50/1), Barnie Beetle (80/1)

GREY SKIES looks useful and this is seemingly a very good opportunity for him to land a third novice hurdle of the year. Risk d'Argent can followe him home ahead of the selection's stablemate Red Vision.
