Forecasts

Moscow Calling (10/3), Miss Barbossa (5/1), Presenting Berkley (11/2), Touch Of Steel (13/2), Robins Legend (8/1), Pulpitarian (17/2), Andhaar (9/1), Lochalsh (12/1), Bollin Julie (25/1), Paddy's Yarn (28/1)

Verdict

MOSCOW CALLING was clearly a disappointment for connections during his bumper and novice hurdling career but he relished the switch to three miles last time and proved his was on a lenient mark by threatening to land the spoils for the first time in his career. He can come on for that today and defy a four pound rise to notch up a first win. Touch of Steel is another who seems to be on a workable handicap mark following a string of disappointments, while Lochalsh is interesting stepped up to three miles for the first time. 1. Moscow Calling 2. Touch Of Steel 3. Lochalsh
