Forecasts

Camlann (9/4), Grand Partner (3/1), Joshua Lane (10/3), Another Rebel (8/1), Jimmy Two Times (10/1), Runyon Rattler (10/1), Eight Till Late (16/1), Go Forty Go (33/1)

Verdict

Jimmy Two Times is interesting now switched back to hurdles having run credibly over fences this term. He has plenty ability and should run well but conceding weight all round might prove his undoing. GRAND PARTNER took his chance over C&D last time out and despite his 5lb increase he has the scope to follow up. He beat Joshua Lane on that occasion and the runner-up should get involved once more, while he also enjoys a slight pull at the weights to aid his cause. Camlann may find this trip a bit sharp if he turns up but Runyon Rattler could threaten the places having led at the last here over Christmas.
