Forecasts

Ballynanty (1/1), Sky Khan (10/3), Buckled (9/2), Always Lion (5/1), Tawseef (12/1)

Theoretically on paper this is a slightly tougher race (Class 3) for the January C&D winner Ballynanty but in reality with the ground riding fast enough for the time of year that's probably not the case. However, the Lucinda Russell-trained SKY KHAN rates as the advice as he seeks his first victory since November 2015 (Market Rasen). Consistent in each of his three starts since late summer 2018, this ten-year-old is feasibly treated and lost little in defeat to Mahlervous over 2m5f at Kelso latest.
