Forecasts

Bertie Boru (13/8), Port Melon (11/4), Tinker Time (10/3), Abracadabra Sivola (9/2)

Verdict

BERTIE BORU can follow up his most recent success at Exeter last week by claiming this small field handicap chase. The selection stays this trip well and can get the better of Tinker Time who is making a quick return to the track having run well at Newbury last weekend.. Port Melon and his amateur rider are taken to see of Abracadabra Sivola in the race for third.
  1. Bertie Boru
