Forecasts

Annie Mc (4/5), If You Say Run (10/11), Tinctoria (66/1)

With Tinctoria having a mountain to climb against her two rivals on official ratings, this looks a match race between both the unbeaten Annie Mc and IF YOU SAY RUN. The former has done nothing wrong since being sent over the bigger obstacles at the start of the season, and she held the latter (who was sent off 1-2f) comfortably when in receipt of 5lbs last time out. However, there is a major turnaround in the weights this time which should enable Paul Nicholls' Highclere-owned mare to regain the winning thread and take her record over fences to 2-4.
