Forecasts

Forza Milan (4/1), Lime Street (9/2), Robert's Star (7/1), Desert Sensation (8/1), Luccombe Down (10/1), Altesse De Guye (10/1), Werenearlyoutofit (10/1), Mr Mcguiness (12/1), Nautical Nitwit (14/1), Holly Bush Henry (25/1), Verygoodverygood (25/1), Mr Shantu (25/1), Mister Fizz (50/1)

Verdict

Forza Milan should not struggle at this trip making his handicap debut off a break as he’s a brother to Grand National winner One For Arthur and he has plenty of scope for improvement. Verygoodverygood will feel happier back over hurdles after his chasing outing last time out while Robert’s Star and Lime Street also make some appeal given their past exploits. Altesse De Guye is back on her last winning mark and may be happier with a couple of runs under her belt but a chance is taken with LUCCOMBE DOWN. He now runs with the headgear discarded and looks dangerous if he can recapture last year’s form. Desert Sensation looks well fancied in the market but the ground might not be soft enough for him to return to winning form with Werenearlyoutofit worth looking out for in the market.
  1. Luccombe Down
  2. Forza Milan
  3. Werenearlyoutofit
