Forecasts

Modus (8/15), Max Ward (5/1), King's Socks (5/1), Overtown Express (8/1)

King's Socks is an intriguing contender given his form over hurdles in France but he arrives here off the back of a long enough lay-off and preference is for MODUS. Slightly disappointing when falling at Exeter last time, he had looked like a very nice prospect over fences prior to that and over a trip which should suit he is taken to get back to winning ways. Overtown Express has shown good form in handicaps recently and is also considered.
