Forecasts

Hardy Boy (1/1), Holerday Ridge (4/1), Heronord (9/2), Dindin (11/2), Fanzio (12/1), Talkingthetalk (14/1), Paddy's Return (33/1)

HARDY BOY ran close to his hurdles form first time up over fences when third at Market Rasen just over a fortnight ago and, with further improvement on the cards as he gains experience, Ben Pauling's 6-y-o gets the vote to come out on top. Dindin arrives in good order, so he looks the obvious danger to the selection, with Heronord taken to fill out third place.
