Forecasts

Whatswrongwithyou (10/11), Brelan D'As (15/8), Go Long (9/1), Raise A Spark (9/1)

Verdict

Raise A Spark looks vulnerable conceding so much weight all round and Go Long may well need the run, so this could develop into a duel between Brelan D'As and WHATSWRONGWITHYOU. The former ran well in handicap company last time, but the latter boasts even better form over hurdles and is expected to improve for the switch to fences.
