Forecasts

Just A Feeling (11/8), Between The Waters (9/4), Silent Man (7/1), Little Windmill (11/1), Thoonavolla (14/1), Goonjim (16/1), Tequila Secret (22/1), The Jugopolist (25/1), Midnight Owle (33/1)

JUST A FEELING broke her maiden over hurdles earlier this week and she is taken to get off the mark over fences in this handicap chase. The selection appeared to have improved for wind surgery on that occasion and she can get the better of her rivals here with Between The Waters capable of finishing runner-up on his return from a break. Top weight Silent Man ran well at Huntingdon last time and he can take third.
