Forecasts

Wotzizname (9/4), Regal Flow (4/1), Ballycross (9/2), Ask The Weatherman (9/2), Theatrical Star (6/1), Goodtoknow (6/1), Emperor's Choice (6/1), Bells Of Ailsworth (7/1)

Verdict

Although he's been hiked 10lb in the weights for winning easily at Bangor last time, the handicapper might not yet have the measure of BELLS OF AILSWORTH who is fancied to follow up. In a competitive staying chase, top weight Wotzizname sets a good standard and is open to further improvement and Regal Flow may also make a race of it. The rest can all produce the goods when in the mood but have been inconsistent. The jockey booking suggests better might be expected of Goodtoknow, while Ballycross can't be ruled out either.
  1. Bells Of Ailsworth
