Forecasts

Stop The World (5/2), Im Too Generous (3/1), Chanceanotherfive (3/1), Buckled (4/1), Benny's Secret (5/1), Exit To Where (11/2), Espoir De Loire (8/1), Senor Lombardy (12/1), Dr Hooves (14/1)

Both Chanceanotherfive and Buckled merit serious consideration as C&D winners, with the latter making a mockery of his mark (up 11lb since) here 16 days ago, while Espoir De Loire and Benny's Secret (also declared on Saturday) have previous here at Musselburgh over the shorter 2m4½f trip. However, a real chance is taken on the frustrating top-weight SENOR LOMBARDY. His chasing career hasn't gone according to plan (fell at both Kelso and Hexham) but with the handicapper showing some grace he appears to be reasonably weighted once (if) everything clicks into place.
