Forecasts

Chain Of Beacons (2/1), Time And Again (2/1), Sky Full Of Stars (10/3), Oak Vintage (4/1), My Idea (13/2), Tambour Major (8/1), Duhallowcountry (14/1), Have You Had Yours (16/1)

Verdict

This race rests between those horses towards the top of the weights, with a much improved run from Chain Of Beacons expected now that he's back on a sound surface. Time and Again is an interesting runner for Tim Vaughan, and if he can cut out the mistakes, he looks certain to go well around this stiff track, but marginal preference is for the hat-trick seeking SKY FULL OF STARS who missed a planned engagement here last month (non runner), and with the ground well watered this week, he might just get away with this faster racing surface and record a second career success over the larger obstacles.
