Forecasts

Onchan (9/4), Don't Ask (9/4), Trixster (5/2), Animal (9/2), Who's In The Box (11/2), Eceparti (6/1), Looks Like Power (10/1), Storm Rising (22/1)

ONCHAN found his form over fences last month, building on his runner-up effort at Leicester to get off the mark at Market Rasen 14 days ago. The 7-y-o may have gone back up in the weights for that victory, but the return to this longer trip can bring about further progress and he can follow up. Animal has also shown improved form on his last 2 starts and can go well again, while Eceparti could bounce back from 3 lb below his last winning mark.
