Forecasts

Dr Kananga (6/5), Morning Spirit (11/4), Valsheda (9/2), Young Offender (15/2), New Age Dawning (15/2), Eva's Oskar (12/1), El Paso Wood (12/1)

Verdict

DR KANANGA is most progressive and the way he won at Sandown 3 weeks ago suggests he can defy a 10 lb rise and complete the hat-trick. Morning Spirit might well have won his second chase start at this C&D in December had things panned out differently late on so rates the main threat ahead of New Age Dawning, who proved all the better for his belated comeback when scoring at Ffos Las.

  1. DR KANANGA
  2. MORNING SPIRIT (IRE)
  3. NEW AGE DAWNING (IRE)
