Forecasts

Lalor (2/1), Macklin (7/2), Dinny Lacey (4/1), Lieutenant Rocco (5/1), Singapore Saga (5/1), Drop Flight (15/2), My Reprieve (9/1), Haven't Time (33/1), Say About It (66/1), Rewritetherules (150/1), Broadclyst (200/1)

Verdict

The talented LALOR made a sound start to his hunter career when second at Wincanton recently and is the one to beat. Macklin won a chase in France earlier in his career and was prolific in points for Will Biddick last year so he's second choice ahead of Drop Flight.

  1. LALOR (GER)
  2. MACKLIN (FR)
  3. DROP FLIGHT (FR)
