Forecasts

Scorpion Sid (10/3), Luckofthedraw (4/1), The Paddy Pie (13/2), Wilde Blue Yonder (13/2), Warthog (13/2), Manwell (13/2), Slanelough (10/1), Sunset Showdown (10/1)

Verdict

Plenty of potential amongst this field with SCORPION SID having already shown that he acts around here jumping well in the main and looking ready for a switch to handicap company. Trainer Sue Smith has won this twice before and she runs The Paddy Pie who is closely matched with Manwell. Both are consistent types and there shouldn’t be much between them on their Sedgefield scrap last time although it may well be another Northern challenger in Slanelough who presents a bigger danger he’s starting to find his feet over fences. Luckofthedraw can’t be ignored either especially as he appeared to match his debut win last time when second to an improving sort at Carlisle.
  1. Scorpion Sid
  2. Slanelough
  3. Luckofthedraw
