Forecasts

Marcilhac (5/2), Abracadabra Sivola (7/2), Warriors Tale (7/2), Sir Ivan (7/1), Sykes (7/1), Hedley Lamarr (7/1), Always On The Run (7/1), Fergal Mael Duin (17/2), Chill Factor (16/1)

Verdict

MARCILHAC can register a first success in over two years upped in trip here, the gelding ran as if he was returning to form when fourth at Sandown last time and competes here off a 4lb lower mark than that which saw him finish runner-up in a valuable handicap hurdle at Kempton nearly 2 years ago. Sykes hails from an in form yard and can take second while dour stayer Fergal Mael Duin can take the third placing here. 1. Marcilhac 2. Sykes 3. Fergal Mael Duin
