Forecasts

Hang In There (1/1), Hometown Boy (11/4), Monte Igueldo (3/1), Kinondo Kwetu (5/1), Francky Du Berlais (6/1), Juniper (13/2), Go On Chez (12/1), Exelerator Express (12/1), Streets Of Doyen (12/1), Dublin Four (25/1)

Verdict

HOMETOWN BOY was resurgent when a facile scorer at Worcester last month and can make light of a 9 lb rise in the weights here. Hang In There could emerge as the main danger on the back of his admirable recent C&D success, while both veteran Francky du Berlais and Irish-raider Streets of Doyen also need factoring into this useful handicap chase.

  1. HOMETOWN BOY (IRE)
  2. HANG IN THERE (IRE)
  3. FRANCKY DU BERLAIS (FR)
