Forecasts

The Game Changer (5/4), Poitin (4/1), Water Sprite (4/1), Kerosin (5/1), Bien Chase (16/1), Siempre Amigos (16/1), Hurricane Volta (16/1), Bobeska (20/1), Jack Blue (20/1), Caerleon Kate (25/1), Piranto (33/1), Tremendous (66/1)

Leading jumps trainer Gordon Elliott looks to hold a strong hand in this concluding challenge contest and his WATER SPRITE can follow up her Tramore handicap victory of last August by taking this on her first appearance on the Flat since. Kerosin was a classy performer on the Flat on the continent a few years ago and can claim second on this occasion ahead of The Game Changer, a stablemate of the winner who is making his debut on the Flat today.
