Forecasts

Third Time Lucki (11/8), Fidelio Vallis (5/2), Any News (3/1), Buddy Rich (7/1), Sir Tivo (50/1)

A very interesting novice chase with the narrow vote in favour of ANY NEWS. He shaped with plenty of promise without truly being seen to best effect when runner-up in a novices' handicap at Warwick last month, and with the prospect of more to come, he can come out on top. The likeable Fidelio Vallis, returned to 2m, and Third Time Lucki, now chasing/on back of a wind op, head the dangers.
