Forecasts

Midnight Cowboy (2/1), Clondaw Banker (11/4), Mahlers Star (7/2), Tower Of Allen (6/1), Doitforjoe (14/1), Fingers Crossed (20/1), De Blacksmith (20/1), Bingo D'Olivate (25/1)

Verdict

Not an easy puzzle to solve, with a few of these likely to do better over fences. A chance is taken on DOITFORJOE, who should strip fitter for a recent run and always threatened to make a better chaser than hurdler, He should have more to offer this season, as should Tower Of Allen , who should go close if jumping proficiently. Mahlers Star did nothing wrong on his chase debut at Bangor and looks a big danger.
