1/3

Fairly useful stayer on Flat who made a successful hurdling bow at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in September. Runner-up both starts under a penalty since, including at Hereford 2 days ago. The one to beat.

9/4

Fair Flat winner who is yet to build on an encouraging debut in this sphere, turning in a laboured effort when a well-held second at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 17 days ago.

Forecasts

Celestial Force (1/3), Moon of Baroda (9/4), Dave And Bernie (3/1), Dark Storm (50/1), Freddy Mac (100/1)

CELESTIAL FORCE ran another fine race under a penalty when second at Hereford on Tuesday and can makes this quick turnaround a winning one. Dave And Bernie is feared most on first run for his new stable.
