Forecasts

Rons Dream (3/1), Midnight Target (9/2), Grace Tara (9/2), Conquer Gold (9/2), Same Circus (15/2), Sparkling River (15/2), Emerald Rose (14/1), Miss Tongabezi (33/1)

Verdict

Miss Tongabezi has been useful so far over fences and could bounce back from a poor Leicester run now meeting this longer trip. Grace Tara went well on her first start after wind surgery at Hereford and should open her account in this sphere soon, while Kelso winner Rons Dream is also respected. A 9lb hike for scoring at Huntingdon might be the undoing of Midnight Target, so SPARKLING RIVER earns the nod to record her third chase win of the campaign, having lost little in defeat at Warwick last time out.
  1. Sparkling River
  2. Rons Dream
  3. Miss Tongabezi
