Forecasts

Ricky Langford (16/5), The Chapel Field (10/3), Western Sea (4/1), All The Chimneys (13/2), Fine Brunello (17/2), Bitview Colin (9/1), Seskin Flyer (12/1), Springfield Lodge (12/1)

Verdict

Tough to rule any of these out but RICKY LANGFORD's consistency is hard to knock so Philip Rothwell's charge gets the vote to score back over the larger obstacles having mixed hurdling and chasing to good effect this year. The Chapel Field could step forward from his reappearance effort over timber so he may provide the main danger, ahead of Western Sea.

  1. RICKY LANGFORD (IRE)
  2. THE CHAPEL FIELD (IRE)
  3. WESTERN SEA (IRE)
