Forecasts

Toushan (5/2), Lisclogher Lad (4/1), Some Drama (6/1), Mister First (7/1), Kilford (8/1), Smokey Joe Joe (8/1), Dare To Endeavour (12/1), By The Banks (12/1), Ibetellingyoualie (12/1), Canaly (16/1)

Verdict

Kilford and Lisclogher Lad both like to get on with things and should ensure a decent pace on for this veterans chase. The front-runners could set the race up for a solid jumper in the shape of BY THE BANKS who could well appreciate his change of scenery on stable debut. C&D winner Smokey Joe Joe and Toushan could be the biggest dangers to the selection.
  1. By The Banks
  2. Smokey Joe Joe
  3. Toushan
