Forecasts

Meldrum Lad (6/4), A Little Magic (5/2), Artifice Sivola (5/1), Dunraven Storm (6/1), Parsnip Pete (8/1)

The veterans of the race, Parsnip Pete and last year's winner Dunraven Storm cannot be ruled out. The latter is unlikely to get an easy time of things up front with A Little Magic in the field. That Market Rasen winner has more on his plate here but shouldn't be underestimated. Artifice Sivola finds better terms now than when switching to these obstacles at Sandown but the in-form MELDRUM LAD has been thriving for this yard and might well be up to the task of completing a four-timer.
