Forecasts

Chanceiton (9/4), Triopas (3/1), Handy Hollow (5/1), Captain Mowbray (5/1), Court Baloo (7/1), Wyfield Rose (8/1), Solway Lark (25/1), David John (40/1)

Verdict

Handy Hollow unseated last time, but remain unexposed and could go close again granted a clear round, while Chanceiton is interesting under his 8lb claimer. Captain Mowbray could go well back over hurdles, but is an unlikely winner and the suggestion is TRIOPAS, who has had a few months to get over his issues from the spring and returns with his trainer's runners in good form. David John could also get involved.
  1. Triopas
