Forecasts

Ryan's Rocket (11/4), Just Over Land (11/4), Hasthing (7/2), Western General (9/2), Lucky Lugger (9/1), Gris Majeur (25/1), Jackpot Cash (28/1), Rangatira Jack (40/1)

Verdict

An interesting novices' handicap chase with a host boasting potential. RYAN'S ROCKET ran below his previous hurdles best in a Grade 2 here in October but he'd previously looked a good prospect when twice successful in the spring and, as a former point winner, he could yet get back on the up now chasing. Just Over Land, Western General and another chase debutant Hasthing are others well worthy of consideration.

  1. RYAN'S ROCKET (IRE)
  2. JUST OVER LAND (FR)
  3. WESTERN GENERAL (IRE)
