Forecasts

Animore (11/8), Bollingerandkrug (11/4), Dorking Boy (3/1), If Not For Dylan (13/2), Better Getalong (7/1), Destiny Is All (7/1), Upandatit (10/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these, but BOLLINGERANDKRUG was a dual hurdle winner last term and is taken to go in at the first time of asking over fences for his in-form yard with this return to a longer trip a plus too. Animore is a likeable sort and she rates a big threat on the back of her recent Hexham success, while the reappearing Dorking Boy is also weighted to have a say.

  1. BOLLINGERANDKRUG (IRE)
  2. ANIMORE
  3. DORKING BOY
