Forecasts

Santini (1/3), Talkischeap (9/2), Now Mcginty (12/1), Steely Addition (16/1)

SANTINI should find underfoot conditions bringing his stamina into play, and he shpuld have too many guns for Bet365 Gold Cup hero Talkischeap. Now McGinty and Steely Addition are both very useful in the mud, but are probably playing for place only in this line-up.
