Forecasts

Capeland (8/11), Peppay Le Pugh (5/2), Railroad Junkie (4/1)

There doesn’t look to be much natural pace on in this race with all three runners having won races from hold up positions and one of them may have to change their normal tactics here. Railroad Junkie still lacks experience when judged against the other duo and that looks a negative for him. Peppay Le Pugh has shown all his best form in strongly run races and the lack of pace in this isn’t to his advantage. CAPELAND was the subject of an excellent Bryony Frost ride when winning over 2m4f here last time letting the pace-setting duo set the race up for her. That is unlikely a scenario that unfolds here but he still holds the most potential of the trio over fences.
