Forecasts

Busty Boy (6/4), Artic Row (2/1), Fathers Advice (4/1), Ardera Cross (17/2), Gun Merchant (16/1), Any Job Will Do (40/1)

Verdict

By far the most appealing option here is BUSTY BOY, who made a winning start in this sphere at Kelso and his subsequent second at the same course three weeks ago was no backward step. Artic Row didn't get very far on his chase debut but he is respected based on his hurdles exploits and is preferred to the veteran Ardera Cross for forecast purposes.

  1. BUSTY BOY (IRE)
  2. ARTIC ROW
  3. ARDERA CROSS (IRE)
