Forecasts

Cracking Find (7/2), Lough Salt (7/2), Brian Boranha (4/1), Cadoudoff (13/2), Forty Crown (7/1), Cooking Fat (8/1), Askamore Darsi (16/1), Wake Your Dreams (20/1), Buckskin Boulta (20/1)

Verdict

Brian Boranha may yet gain compensation for being disqualified here when a 2lb lead slipped out of Brian Hughes' saddle on route, while Forty Crown and Lough Salt have surely got more wins in them, though for today we will side with CRACKING FIND. Sue Smith's gelding was staying on well when winning over shorter than this here last time and can defy a 7lb rise over the trip that should bring out the best in him. 1. Cracking Find 2. Brian Boranha 3. Forty Crown
