Forecasts

Cool Mix (1/2), Ravenhill Road (13/8), Hawk High (5/2), Reverant Cust (11/2), Uncle Bobby (100/1), Shepherd Storm (200/1)

Almost a virtual re-run of a novices' chase which took place here on December 13th with five of the six declared runners having competed in that race. Ravenhill Road has always been held in high regard by Brian Ellison, but it is worrying that a weak finish in that race was possibly as a result of a burst blood vessel. Therefore, with no further rain forecast and conditions promising to be ideal for the grey COOL MIX, the Iain Jardine trained 7yo is strongly fancied to break his chasing duck at the fourth attempt.
