Forecasts

Kelka (1/1), Niven (9/4), Bulkov (11/4), Catchamat (16/1), Paddocks Lounge (50/1)

This might not take a lot of winning and while really heavy ground would be a worry, NIVEN has handled soft in the past and his three placed efforts over fences in Ireland before joining this yard just about give him the edge today. Kelka ought to make some progress for Donald McCain before too long, while Bulkov will have prospects too once he irons out his technique at the obstacles.
