Forecasts

East Indies (11/4), Comanche Chieftain (7/2), Lord Huntingdon (7/2), Free Stone Hill (4/1), Regulation (5/1)

Verdict

LORD HUNTINGDON won in good style at Bangor in August and appears to have been found a very good chance of following up here. The mandatory rise in the weights for that effort looks fair, so it seems reasonable to expect another bold bid whilst his yard remains in good form. Comanche Chieftain has crept up the weights after a string of consistent efforts but has to merit a second look in a field of this size. Free Stone Hill is another reliable yardstick but has been expensive to follow and comes with risks attached. East Indies, a winner on this card last year, is also worth a betting check.
  1. Lord Huntingdon
  2. Comanche Chieftain
  3. Free Stone Hill
