Forecasts

Green Vault (11/8), Ned Tanner (7/2), The Delray Munky (11/2), Stolen Money (7/1), Stoney Rover (9/1), Bullion Boss (10/1), Jessiemac (14/1), Skiddaw Tara (14/1), Final Reminder (20/1), Bannside (25/1)

Verdict

This is tougher than the handicaps GREEN VAULT landed here and at Bangor last month but on each occasion he went about his business in the manner of one who has plenty more to offer and the 6-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick. Stolen Money is also bidding for a third consecutive success, but bigger threats may be posed by Kelso novice winner Ned Tanner and Stoney Rover.
