Forecasts

Strong Resemblance (9/4), Minella For Me (3/1), Itsamanslife (11/2), Lough Salt (7/1), Overworkdunderpaid (8/1), Crest (12/1), Irish Octave (20/1), Attention Please (22/1)

Verdict

Strong Resemblance arrives in cracking form and is an obvious choice, but now 12lb higher than when beaten in his last chase, he may be vulnerable to a potential improver in the form of MINELLA FOR ME. As a point-to-point, Tom George's gelding could do better now stepped up to this trip for the first time under rules. Lough Salt can never be written off at this venue, and the same applies to last-time winners Itsamanslife and Attention Please, with the former of that pair preferred.
