Forecasts

Lickpenny Larry (2/1), Vicenzo Mio (2/1), Gone Platinum (10/3), Lightentertainment (6/1), Spock (14/1)

GONE PLATINUM can register his first success since winning a bumper in 2014 by taking this handicap chase. With a couple of pace angles in the contest the placed point-to-pointers stamina can see him see off top weight Vincenzo Mio who has placed on his last two starts while last time out winner, and possible pacesetter Lickapenny Larry can claim third.
