Forecasts

Jenkins (1/25), Bags Groove (6/5), Sussex Road (10/1)

JENKINS was the best of these over hurdles and he is taken to make a winning chase debut in this three runner contest. Bags Groove ran well when runner-up on his debut in this sphere and he can claim second while Sussex Road, who has plenty to find on ratings can finish last of the three runners.
