Forecasts

Brother Tedd (5/4), Present Man (15/8), Value At Risk (15/8), Casse Tete (7/2), Dark Flame (9/2), Minellacelebration (10/1), Crowd Control (100/1)

Plenty of these will want to push on from the front early and that might play into the hands of CASSE TETE, likely to be held up off the pace and he can come through late with a winning effort. He was much improved at Sandown last time and his sound jumping will hold him in good stead against a few that can make mistakes. Present Man looks the best of those if he can put a clear round in, and he can fill the places out with Value At Risk, another that needs to keep mistakes down to a minimum.
