Forecasts

Eminent Poet (2/1), Disputed (9/4), Like The Sound (5/2), Old Salt (5/1)

Verdict

LIKE THE SOUND can make a winning handicap debut in this small field event. The selection was successful on his penultimate start under today's conditional jockey prior to finishing runner-up behind a promising novice hurdler at Kempton last time out. The predicted softer ground here looks likely to suit and he receives weight from all his rivals which is another positive given likely conditions. The consistent Disputed can claim another place having finished a close enough fourth at Cheltenham last time out whilst Eminent Poet can get the better of handicap debutant Old Salt here.
