Forecasts

Hard To Forget (10/3), Cracker Jak (5/1), Rosemary Russet (6/1), Ballybough Nora (6/1), Saturdaynightfever (9/1), Halloween Harry (10/1), The Brothers (11/1), Move Above (12/1), Crossley Tender (16/1), Sammylou (20/1), Flying Verse (22/1), Gambling Gamut (25/1), The Detainee (40/1)

Verdict

A wide open contest and one that could well prove strong form for the grade and a complex puzzle for backers. There are several unexposed quantities here with Saturdaynightfever and Move Above both expected to be suited by the switch to handicaps. Last time out winners Hard To Forget and Cracker Jak are both respected although the duo have hefty rises to cope with for their wins. Crossley Tender ought to be winning something like this but his jumping hasn’t stood the test so far and it’s HALLOWEEN HARRY who was in the process of showing more than he had before last time when unseating that takes the eye; he’s taken to gain compensation.
  1. Halloween Harry
  2. Hard To Forget
  3. Saturdaynightfever
