Forecasts

Boughtbeforelunch (7/2), The Boss's Dream (5/1), Eaton Miller (11/2), Dalkadam (6/1), Tanacando (8/1), Lord Getaway (17/2), Arthur's Reuben (9/1), Stonebrigg Legend (9/1), Blackmill (11/1), Fearsome Fred (25/1), Over The Arch (33/1)

Verdict

A rather mixed bag with some having had chasing experience up against five making their debuts over fences. Boughtbeforelunch was able to show that his fencing debut was all wrong at Southwell last time jumping much better than on his debut and he along with Over The Arch who showed some aptitude for fences on his stiff debut are two to consider. Both Blackmill and Tanacando are handed an opportunity by the handicapper off career-low marks to prove their worth. THE BOSS’S DREAM really ought to be able to win this though of a mark that looks an insult on his old form. He shaped well enough last time out and with the excellent Bryony Frost taking the ride can bounce back to form here.
  1. The Boss's Dream
