Forecasts

Band Of Blood (2/1), Indian Castle (6/1), Carole's Destrier (13/2), Sego Success (8/1), Ballynagour (17/2), Killala Quay (16/1), Fox Appeal (16/1), Halo Moon (20/1), No Duffer (20/1), Call Me Vic (22/1), Astracad (33/1), Upswing (40/1)

Some real old favourites who should provide a great advertisement for these types of races. Although Indian Castle looks his stable's main hope, any resurgence from Ballynagour would make him a danger to all off this mark. Sego Success and the inconsistent KiIllala Quay both like this venue and enter calculations, but the suggestion is CAROLE'S DESTRIER, who got stuck in the Haydock mud last time and will appreciate a return to a sounder surface and weaker company off a falling handicap mark. Band Of Blood bolted up on his reappearance after a long absence, but comes with the risk of "bouncing" and has a 7lb penalty to cope with.
