Forecasts

Special Acceptance (4/1), Benevolentdictator (9/2), Salty Boy (9/2), Seaston Spirit (6/1), Rathlin Rose (10/1), Cheque En Blanc (11/1), Dawson City (11/1), Defi Des Carres (11/1), Bermeo (16/1), Goodnight Charlie (28/1), Sackett (40/1), Like The Sound (50/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing SALTY BOY, who responded well to this headgear when third off this mark at Haydock and this step up in trip promises to suit. Seaston Spirit and Benevolendictator are on the upgrade so also need considering, while Defi des Carres is building up a good record in cross-country events so it will be interesting to see how he fares over these regular fences.

  1. SALTY BOY (IRE)
