Forecasts

Notachance (3/1), Fontsanta (3/1), Court Master (8/1), Gowiththeflow (8/1), Jammy George (9/1), Ready And Able (10/1), Sizing Cusimano (10/1), Hes No Trouble (10/1), Sussex Ranger (25/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these have the scope for further improvement and it won’t be an easy contest to win. Alan King has trained the last two winners of this and his Notachance gives him a good chance of landing the hat-trick although the hard race he had last time and the 9lb rise could leave him vulnerable. Hes No Trouble impressed on his second chasing start looking just the type the yard do well with Ready And Able returning to fences another threat. Court Master is up in grade but his attitude couldn’t be faulted last time but the vote goes to FONTSANTA. Only fifth here on his chasing debut that was a hot race and he had previously run in some very decent novice hurdles.
  1. Fontsanta
  2. Hes No Trouble
  3. Notachance
