Forecasts

Cracking Find (5/4), An Laoch (9/4), Gris De Pron (11/4), Roman Numeral (14/1)

Verdict

A race which lacks depth, with perhaps the most interesting horse of the four; An Laoch appearing extremely vulnerable over this 2m trip. CRACKING FIND is also likely to find this trip on the short side, but Danny Cook is likely to counteract that potential problem by setting out to make all. Whilst he's not set the world alight over fences so far, he looks the safest option with the benefit of his Wetherby reappearance in the 'tank'. Roman Numeral is perhaps flattered by his latest Hexham effort, but in such a modest race, he rates as the chief threat to the Sue Smith charge.
  1. Cracking Find
