Forecasts

Boris Grishenko (9/4), Apparition (9/2), You Can't Catch Me (9/2), King's War (5/1), Ingleby Mackenzie (6/1), Pumbaa (11/1), Authorative (12/1), Maple Lawn (16/1), Glamorous Nellie (20/1)

Verdict

It is hard to look past the compelling consistency of the gallant INGLEBY MACKENZIE who has won three of his last four handicap hurdle starts and it may take a lot more than a 10lb rise in the weights to stop him in his current vein of form. The Gordon Elliott-trained Boris Grishenko appears to be finally improving and can pose the biggest danger while You Can't Catch Me and Kings War are more than capable of hitting the frame.
  1. Ingleby Mackenzie
  2. Boris Grishenko
  3. You Can't Catch Me
