Race preview

FORGED IN FIRE could be the one to beat on his jumping debut. The form of his bumper win at December last Christmas obviously reads particularly well given that he beat Cheltenham hero Ferny Hollow that day. A change of tactics after that probably brought improved form from the runner-up but it was still a big effort to beat a rival of that class on his debut and he looks an exciting prospect now over jumps. Clondaw Secret is very interesting on his 'track' debut having won a point-to-point almost a year ago that has worked out particularly well. The runner-up Champagne Gold won at Wexford recently while the fourth horse Minella Escape looks to have a big shout in the preceding race today. Genois ran a nice race to finish third here on debut and looks another to consider in a hot contest.
