Forecasts

Hope Is High (6/4), Londonia (3/1), The Detainee (7/2), Innoko (6/1), Wassail (6/1), Halling's Wish (12/1), Mr Lando (25/1), Kay Sera (25/1), Bohemian Rhapsody (25/1), Skylark Lady (50/1)

Verdict

Now that he is off the mark, The Detainee has claims of following up his recent Chepstow success under a penalty, though preference is for LONDONIA. Graeme McPherson's gelding is in good from over jumps, stays at least as far as this and still looks on the sort of mark from which he can win. Innoko is worth a market check, while Hope Is High and Wassail are both respected.
  1. Londonia
  2. The Detainee
  3. Hope Is High
