Forecasts

Delface (7/2), Mere Anarchy (7/2), Watt Broderick (4/1), Nabhan (11/2), Bardd (7/1), Land League (8/1), Flight To Nowhere (11/1), Duc Kauto (11/1), Billy My Boy (12/1), Lady Wethered (16/1), The Character (16/1)

Most of these have questions to answer with Bardd, Delface and Duc Kauto being unreliable and rain a pre-requisite for Flight To Nowhere, Mere Anarchy and Lady Wethered. Billy My Boy and Watt Broderick may need this after a break, but Nabhan shaped encouragingly last time and has a lot going for him in this company whatever the weather. However, a chance is taken that conditions remain dry enough for THE CHARACTER whose three runs this year can be excused. There is definitely a race to be won with him off his current hurdles mark given his Class 3 victory in 2017 off 6lb higher and a run at Haydock in January that showed he retains a lot of that ability.
