Forecasts

Malaita (9/4), Ballybegg (5/2), Missed Tee (7/2), Hall Lane (6/1), Midnight Centurion (13/2), Hardi Du Mesnil (66/1)

Verdict

HALL LANE represents a strong-looking piece of Market Rasen form and gets the verdict over Malaita, who was far from done with when coming down at Cheltenham last time. Midnight Centurion made a pleasing start to his chase career and is worth a market check after over a year off.

  1. HALL LANE (IRE)
  2. MALAITA
  3. MIDNIGHT CENTURION
