Forecasts

Amore Alato (9/4), Sumkindofking (5/1), Lithic (5/1), Seefood (5/1), Ballyvic Boru (6/1), Diable De Sivola (7/1), Shady Glen (9/1), Forever Field (10/1), Marquis Of Carabas (10/1), Brave Spartacus (40/1)

BALLYVIC BORU can complete a double by defying a 10lb rise in the weights to take this competitive handicap chase. The selection is stepping up in trip here and can get the better of the returning Seefood who drops in grade on his return to action while Diable De Sivola can claim third having run well at Worcester last time.
