Forecasts

Dinons (4/6), Ultragold (4/1), De Name Evades Me (9/2), Nativegetaway (14/1), Ballyart (16/1), Back On The Lash (16/1), Mine's A Pint (33/1)

Verdict

DINONS could very easily be five out of five over hurdles and for all this is probably his toughest assignment yet under a 8lb penalty Gordon Elliott's charge is fully expected to come through it with flying colours and he could very easily prove a Graded performer. Ultragold is interesting as a very useful chaser and if he takes to hurdling he could give the selection something to think about. Ballyart for Nigel Twiston-Davies who won this race last year is the other with realistic claims.
