Forecasts

The Abbey (2/1), Knot On Time (10/3), Fag An Bealach (5/1), British Art (6/1), It Takes Time (9/1), Calicojack (12/1), Howaya Aoife (20/1), All For Nothing (20/1), Jess's Corner (20/1), James Boru (25/1), Back To Bataan (25/1), Zagnzig (25/1), Laureate (25/1), Happy Lad (50/1), Walkers Point (80/1)

Verdict

KNOT ON TIME has been in good form over hurdles this summer, winning at this venue in August, and ought to make a chaser, so he's preferred to The Abbey, who has been runner-up on both his starts over fences thus far. James Boru should build on his chasing debut now upped to a more suitable trip and is also worthy of consideration.
