Forecasts

Dark Invader (11/4), Robin Des People (3/1), Comber Mill (3/1), Dinsdale (5/1), Full (6/1)

A case can be made for all in this and a lot hinges on the state of the ground. Comber Mill and Full need some cut in the ground but the prospect of dry weather may see conditions prove less testing than forecast. Dinsdale is not ground dependant but needs to lead and Comber Mill may wreck those plans. Dark Invader comes from a stable whose horses have underperformed lately and the vote goes to ROBIN DES PEOPLE who has had a good year in point-to-points/hunter chases and who will appreciate the good gallop that seems likely.
