Forecasts

Snugsborough Hall (11/8), Grotesque (9/2), Getaway Kid (11/2), Biddy The Boss (6/1), Hugo 'n Taz (6/1), Sir Ector (20/1), Wings Like Arion (20/1), Frankly All Talk (25/1), Play The Part (25/1), Officers Mess (33/1), Kayf Thou (50/1), Castle Clyde (50/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that previous point-to-point winner, GROTESQUE can take the switch to fences in his stride now he's got the benefit of a couple of recent spins over hurdles behind him to sharpen him up. Snugsborough Hall, Play The Part and Getaway Kid make the most appeal from the rest and are suggested as the most reliable bunch to bear in mind as alternatives.
  1. Grotesque
  2. Snugsborough Hall
  3. Play The Part
