Forecasts

High Sparrow (9/4), Red Jack (9/2), Victoria Bay (5/1), Boro Tari (5/1), The Caddy Rose (6/1), Napoleon Blue (6/1), Full Cry (11/1), Ocean Glandore (16/1), Timiyan (18/1), Cecil Corbett (66/1)

HIGH SPARROW was strong in the betting and capitalised on his lower chase mark in good style over C&D 3 weeks ago, coming clear of re-opposing Napoleon Blue. He earns the vote to confirm the placings in the hope his jumping holds up once more. Full Cry has often gone well at this venue and can also get involved.
