Forecasts
Countister (5/6), Ainchea (11/8), Arthington (11/1), Desiremoi D'Authie (50/1), Lightly Squeeze (66/1), It's Got Legs (66/1)
Ainchea has some credible form in the book already and ran well enough in a Listed contest Cheltenham last time to command respect over this shorter trip, while the Tizzard team now appears to be coming to the boil nicely. He's respected but this may go to COUNTISTER, a smart French recruit for the champion trainer. She bumper into a decent mare on debut at Newbury before readily getting off the mark at Doncaster from a pair of subsequent winners. With more to come and weight in her favour, she's the one to be on. Arthington is already a three-time winner over timber and is respected but may find it tough carrying top weight against the aforementioned promising pair.
