Forecasts

Colonel Keating (11/4), Echo Watt (3/1), Flight To Milan (11/2), Crossley Tender (6/1), Moromac (13/2), Dorado Dollar (7/1), Impulsive Leader (16/1), Positive Touch (66/1), Bonne Nuit (66/1)

Verdict

A thoroughly unappealing novices' handicap chase in which the soundest advice is to take the widest of possible berths. However, there will be a winner so in that respect this is an opportunity for the connections of one of the nine declared runners. Crossley Tender appeared to be on the up prior to a lousy effort at Huntingdon, while the 17-race maiden Flight To Milan is unlikely to ever get a better chance of winning. However, for very small stakes we'll take a speculative tilt at the chasing newcomer MOROMAC. His trainer Chris Gordon is proficient with such horses and with a chasing background to his pedigree he could feasibly take the necessary step forward.
  1. Moromac
  2. Flight To Milan
  3. Colonel Keating
