Forecasts

Progress Drive (1/1), Lochnell (13/8), Blue Empyrean (9/2)

This probably lays between Progress Drive and LOCHNELL, with the vote going to the six-time course winner. Iain Duncan's mare jumped with more fluency when scoring last time and although she will need some improvement from 5lb higher, she could find it. Progress Drive is probably open to more improvement now stepped up to this trip, though he still has to prove that he sees it out and if he doesn't jump better than he did here last time he may well come up short.
