Forecasts

Key Commander (3/1), Not Sure (10/3), Marco Island (7/2), Franigane (5/1), Tip Top Mountain (8/1), Billingsley (11/1), Courtland (16/1), Cokytho (50/1), Fine Theatre (80/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to KEY COMMANDER, who has acquitted himself well both starts for new connections and a similarly aggressive ride to that which he was given when third over 24.5f at Carlisle could pay dividends back down in trip here. Granted a clean round of jumping, Not Sure may well reverse January C&D placings with Tip Top Mountain on 6 lb better terms and he is feared most. Marco Island was disappointing on his chase debut but is worth another chance given the strength of his hurdles form.
