Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: M Quinn| OR: 75| BF| CD

Forecasts

Invincible Larne (11/4), Nigel Nott (3/1), Split Down South (10/3), Diamond Dougal (10/3), Gamgoom (17/2)

INVINCIBLE LARNE had no luck at all in his follow-up bid here 3 weeks ago, having been repeatedly hampered, so he's well worth keeping onside back up in trip. Nigel Nott resumed winning ways with a career best here last week and ought to go well again under a penalty.
