Forecasts

Beakstown (10/11), Sam Spinner (5/4), Mr Antolini (5/1), Return Ticket (16/1), Vado Forte (20/1), Warendorf (150/1)

Top class hurdler SAM SPINNER may have been found an ideal opening by trainer Jed O'Keefe to get his chasing career off to a winning start in this contest. Prone to the odd error over hurdles the Black Sam Bellamy gelding is sure to be well prepped for debut over the larger obstacles. The Dan Skelton and Nigel Twiston-Davies yards both hold solid and consistent figures at this track in October and their pair Beakstown and Mr Antolini merit plenty of respect on chasing debut.
