Forecasts

Coastal Tiep (6/4), Town Parks (11/4), Seymour Star (3/1), Rayvin Black (5/1)

The drop in trip looks likely to suit the Paul Nicholls-trained COASTAL TIEP and with that in mind he can register a second success over fences in this four runner contest. The selection impressed when wining on chasing debut and can get the better of Seymour Star who is making his chasing debut today while top weight Town Parks can claim third ahead of another chasing debutant Rayvin Black.
