Forecasts

Tedham (4/1), Tight Call (7/1), Gulshanigans (7/1), Wicked Willy (8/1), Kk Lexion (8/1), Earlofthecotswolds (9/1), Dark Episode (9/1), Magoo (10/1), Marten (16/1), Wallace Spirit (16/1), Timoteo (25/1), Bradford Bridge (33/1), Bhutan (33/1), Gallic Destiny (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty try their luck but this can probably be whittled down to just a handful. Gulshanigans looks an obvious enough starting point after a good effort over C&D last time out and he really should be taking some prize money home, but TEDHAM ran a stormer against one that went on to finish second in the classy Challow Hurdle, and that form looks very solid indeed. He can get off the mark .Dark Episode looked a thorough stayer at Leicester and will appreciate this test, and the likes of Bhutan, Magoo and Wallace Spirit all warrant a second look, coming as they do from big yards.
  1. Tedham
  2. Gulshanigans
  3. Dark Episode
