Forecasts

Ten Sixty (3/1), Swincombe Scorchio (4/1), Fact Of The Matter (9/2), Boa Island (9/2), Better Days (7/1), Bells Of Ailsworth (7/1), Get Involved (15/2), Mr Shantu (11/1), Father Edward (20/1), Goohar (25/1)

A few of these are going to have their questionable jumping tested here and this will be a test for Ten Sixty, Bells Of Ainsworth and Get Involved. Boa Island did beat Get Involved last time out and has to be respected but the interesting duo are Fact Of the Matter and SWINCOMBE SCRCHIO. The latter of that duo scored impressively last time out and despite the rising mark he looks capable of adding to his last time out win.
