Forecasts

Kanturk Bank (2/1), Smuggler's Stash (9/2), Hattons Hill (15/2), Allez Cool (15/2), Man In Black (15/2), Milan Dancer (10/1), Vincent Row (10/1), Major Ridge (11/1), Warksburn Boy (100/1)

Verdict

MAN IN BLACK is interesting on his chase debut. A winning pointer he could come into his own now and the longer trip is not a worry. His third over hurdles last time is a good piece of form with the winner scoring again since under a penalty. Kanturk Bank represents a stable enjoying a fabulous winter. His talented trainer is capable of getting the extra needed to defy a penalty. Milan Dancer will have conditions to suit and her point-to-point form suggests she is capable of better than she has shown so far.
