Forecasts

Chanceiton (13/8), Nemean Lion (11/4), Simply Mani (7/2), Handy Hollow (4/1), Sporting Boy (9/2), Squouateur (9/2), Little Millie (12/1)

Verdict

A tight stayers handicap hurdle, in which the attractively weighted Chanceiton will have his share of supporters on the back of a recent productive spell over fences (winner at Perth last week). Meanwhile, Handy Hollow is expected to run his usual solid race, while the newly-blinkered Nemean Lion certainly needs a revival, yet isn't considered to be a forlorn hope. However, we'll opt for the top-weight SQUOUATEUR. Campaigned mainly over fences in recent years, he shaped with a deal of encouragement on his return to the smaller obstacles in a seemingly deep Class 2 hurdle at Kelso (2m5f) a fortnight ago, and sits on an eye-catching reduced handicap mark of 119.
