Forecasts

Samarrive (5/2), Samba Dancer (10/3), Uncle Henry (15/2), Straw Fan Jack (8/1), Sarasota Star (17/2), Byzantine Empire (10/1), Timberman (14/1), Small Bad Bob (14/1), River Bray (16/1), Stormy Flight (16/1), Blacko (16/1), Ingleby Hollow (18/1), Nordic Combined (20/1), Bashful Boy (33/1), Pasvolsky (40/1), San Pedro (125/1)

This lacks the strength in depth of some Cheltenham handicaps. SAMBA DANCER arrives firmly on the up for Fergal O'Brien, and with a good-value conditional taking off a valuable 3 lb, the hat-trick may well be on. If there's a runner with the scope to be much better than their mark it's Samarrive, with Byzantine Empire, a stablemate of the selection, also of interest.
