Forecasts

Fill The Tank (1/1), Nymphhall (11/2), Stolen Moment (11/2), Stormy Master (6/1), I Don't Get It (11/1), Dundeedy Lad (12/1), Clancypantz (18/1), Paddy Wickla (22/1), Flying Colum (25/1), Mossy White (50/1), Frankfurter (50/1), Giftedtokate (50/1), Villain Thomas (80/1)

FILL THE TANK seemingly benefited form the step up 25f and first-time cheekpieces when opening his account in a handicap chase here recently. The 7-y-o is very appealing back in this sphere off a 9 lb lower mark. Stolen Moment looked better than ever when striking at Ballinrobe and she is next on the list ahead of Stormy Master.
