Forecasts

Huelgoat (13/8), Wetanwindy (11/4), Stanley Pincombe (4/1), Mascat (9/2), Long Call (12/1)

Verdict

HUELGOAT showed improved form for the switch to chasing when getting off the mark in comfortable fashion at Newton Abbot 26 days ago and, with further progress distinctly possible, he gets the nod to follow up. Wetanwindy, who matched the pick of his hurdles form when runner-up over further here in May is feared most, whilst it will be interesting to see what the market makes of chase debutant Stanley Pincombe.
