Forecasts

Eureu Du Boulay (11/4), Florrie Knox (7/2), Glance Back (6/1), Night Of Sin (6/1), Belargus (8/1), Knocknamona (8/1), Prairie Town (16/1), Truckers Highway (16/1), Virnon (25/1)

Verdict

After hosing up at Southwell, Glance Back is likely to prove a popular choice for punters. However, he must defy an 8lb rise for that success and has never won off a mark as high this before. He therefore has a bit to prove, as does Florrie Knox who enters calculations dropped in grade to a more realistic level, though he will need to improve his jumping if he is to feature. The unexposed Night Of Sin was a C&D winner last season. He could have further progress in him as he makes his seasonal comeback. A chance is taken on PRAIRIE TOWN though whose recent fourth at Sandown is respectable handicap form and reads well in this weaker race on paper.
  1. Prairie Town
  2. Night Of Sin
  3. Florrie Knox
