Forecasts

Hell Red (4/6), Skatman (10/11), Balkardy (5/4), Crisis Of Identity (33/1)

SKATMAN went in at the first time of asking over fences over C&D last month and looks the way to go here with more progress on the cards from this fairly useful winning hurdler. Progressive Balkardy has his stamina to prove but is still feared most in his bid for a four-time ahead of the selection's stable companion Hell Red.
