Forecasts

Skatman (8/11), Story Of Friends (5/2), Lakota Warrior (4/1)

Cases can be made for all 3, with SKATMAN fancied to make a successful chase debut. The winning pointer ran his best race over hurdles last time and may have bit in hand of Lakota Warrior, who needs to bounce back from a pair of disappointing efforts, and recent hunter chase winner Story of Friends.
