Forecasts

Justshortofabubble (10/3), Saxon Queen (7/2), Cresswell Queen (11/2), Findusatgorcombe (6/1), If I Say (8/1), Div Ine Tara (10/1), Ya Know Yaseff (11/1), Dreamsundermyfeet (20/1), Tom O'Roughley (25/1), Joyful Kit (25/1)

Verdict

Several of these arrive with a bit to prove including FINDUSATGORCOMBE, who hasn't been seen for 8 months but starts out for Robert Walford on potentially very lenient mark. He gets the tentative nod ahead of Justshortofabubble, who has struck up a fine partnership with this rider and is expected to be bang there once again. The Peter/Sean Bowen combination landed this event 12 months ago and Saxon Queen is one to look out for making her chasing debut.

  1. FINDUSATGORCOMBE
  2. JUSTSHORTOFABUBBLE
  3. SAXON QUEEN
