Forecasts

The Worlds End (2/5), Now Mcginty (5/2), Merry Milan (8/1), Terry The Fish (9/1), Againn Dul Aghaidh (40/1), Amour D'Or (100/1)

A repeat of his hurdles form should see THE WORLDS END take this classy beginners chase for trainer Tom George. The selection has the trip to suit while his Grade 1 win came on the good ground forecast for this contest. Now Mcginty recorded a career best effort when placed last time and he can finish runner-up ahead of Merry Milan who is making just his fourth appearance under Rules.
