Forecasts

Clyne (5/4), Born Survivor (2/1), Testify (5/2), Presenting Rose (20/1)

Verdict

A fascinating contest in prospect with three of the four all possible winners on paper. Testify made a promising debut over fences at Bangor and looks a surefire improver, while Clyne loves it here and was just the best of them over hurdles. If he jumps clear then he has decent claims in receipt of weight from the penalised pair. However, experience could count for plenty and so BORN SURVIVOR, who looked good over a similar trip at Wetherby and ran well for a long way here in a graduation chase last time, is just given the vote.
  1. Born Survivor
  2. Testify
  3. Clyne
