Forecasts

Wizards Bridge (3/1), Morney Wing (3/1), Leo Luna (7/2), Bears Rails (4/1), Crank Em Up (5/1)

Verdict

Easy to make a case for all of the runners here. Crank Em Up has looked vunerable off this mark. Leo Luna is more than capable of winning again back down in grade. The two to concentrate on may well be the two Colin Tizzard runners. Whilst money for Bears Rails would be significant, slight preference is for WIZARDS BRIDGE to win again back up in trip.
