Forecasts

Cloudy Bob (2/1), Fletchers Flyer (3/1), Harry Topper (9/2), Band Of Blood (11/2), Henri Parry Morgan (7/1), Ballynagour (12/1), Pressurize (14/1), Pete The Feat (14/1), Gentleman Jon (20/1)

Verdict

Plenty of old warriors in the field here who have been more than capable off higher marks on their day. CLOUDY BOB looked revived and refreshed by the move to the Honeyball yard last time out and he may well have more to offer on his second run for the yard. Pete The Feat despite his advancing years should run well here although he has to prove himself away from Sandown and Gentleman Jon is another worthy of a look although his 5lb rise for last time looks rather harsh. Harry Topper will appreciate this stamina test if his jumping holds together while Band Of Blood would be of interest if there was any money for him in the market.
