Forecasts

Irish Thistle (3/1), Cucklington (7/2), Arctic Ben (9/2), Moorlands Jack (5/1), Triggywinkle (6/1), Jamrham (6/1), Ma'ire Rua (7/1), All But Grey (15/2), Triptico (8/1), High Aspirations (9/1), Ray Diamond (10/1)

Verdict

JAMRHAM is taken to score for the second time this season by claiming this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection was successful at Fontwell in December and is given another chance here having finished third at Fontwell last time out. Cucklington is taken to finish second despite his best form coming over further while Ray Diamond, placed three times for this yard already this season can take third under his amateur rider.
  1. Jamrham
