Forecasts

Ballinsker (13/8), Takeit Easy (9/5), Pagero (5/1), Chasamax (5/1), Inn The Bull (8/1), Diva De Vassy (10/1), Soldier On Parade (12/1), Jamacho (20/1)

Verdict

It may be worth siding with BALLINSKER, who has yet to make an impact since switched to handicaps but it should be pointed out that the three he has contested are among the most competitive on the jump racing calendar, namely the Greatwood, Betfair Hurdle and, most recently, the Swinton. Takeit Easy is an obvious threat on the back of his C&D success and Pagero is also accorded respect.
