Forecasts

Exit To Where (9/2), Ballycrystal Court (13/2), Braavos (13/2), Sebastian Beach (7/1), Zolfo (7/1), Damiens Dilemma (15/2), Dun Faw Good (11/1), Ever So Much (12/1), Old Salt (20/1), Apache Pilot (20/1), Alderbrook Lad (22/1), Brother Scott (50/1)

Verdict

Not a particularly strong contest and were it not for a significant absence Exit To Where would have been of interest although his trainer (Lucinda Russell) does have a 20% strike-rate with her chasers at Kelso returning off a 100 plus days break. Zolfo who goes well for Brian Hughes has to be considered while Braavos and Sebastian Beach are respected on the best of their form. BALLYCRYSTAL COURT has the most scope for progress of these having emerged from a messy Market Rasen contest last time with plenty of credit, the handicapper raising him just 3lb. Damiens Dilemma and Dun Faw Good were second and third respectively here last week but more is needed in this better heat.
  1. Ballycrystal Court
  2. Zolfo
  3. Exit To Where
