Forecasts

Horn Cape (7/4), Since Day One (7/2), Jason The Militant (9/2), Matchless (5/1), Baron De Midleton (9/1), I Have A Voice (12/1), Iwa (40/1)

A chance is taken on the fitness of SINCE DAY ONE, who clearly goes well here (4-4 over hurdles and 5-6 overall at this course) and he resumes on a good mark (8 lb lower than that off which he landed a handicap chase here last January). Jason The Militant's recent form figures do not inspire confidence but he's lurking on a dangerous mark and is next on the list ahead of the in-form Horn Cape and Matchless.
