Forecasts

Ventara (10/11), Paddy In The Caddy (11/4), Song Of Earth (10/1), Imperial Joe (11/1), Gerard Mentor (11/1), Miss Marette (11/1), Shuil Ceoil (14/1), Skin Full (16/1), Stopherandgo (16/1), Noah's Light (16/1), My Rockstar (20/1), Tribesmans Glory (22/1), Nadim (25/1), Holerday Ridge (40/1)

Verdict

With Paddy In The Caddy's participation in considerable doubt (declared to run at Hereford on Wednesday), this may be best left to VENTARA, who has made the frame on all 3 handicap starts over hurdles and Joe Tizzard's 6-y-o can make his breakthrough with attentions now turned to the larger obstacles. Song Of Earth seems to be building up to something so heads up the opposition, with Gerard Mentor and Tribesmans Glory rounding off the shortlist.

  1. VENTARA
  2. SONG OF EARTH (IRE)
  3. GERARD MENTOR (FR)
