Forecasts

Mr Saxobeat (9/4), Lasparas (3/1), Time Marches On (4/1), Shoot First (11/2), Glenglass (6/1), Troubled Times (17/2), Chainofconsequence (25/1), Hamazing (33/1), Watch The Weather (40/1), Dicebox (50/1), Ben Vrackie (50/1), Wallace's Cross (50/1), Essential Part (66/1), King Otis (66/1), Nicoles Getaway (66/1), Thecornerhouse (80/1), Costaweefortune (100/1), Corrin View (100/1), Mugsy Delight (125/1), Tintean Fein (200/1)

LASPARAS failed to measure up to market expectations on his hurdles debut at Galway 11 months ago, but a valid excuse has emerged for that disappointing display and this point/bumper winner could prove a different proposition here. He gets the nod ahead of Glenglass, who is also probably best forgiven for his latest effort, prior to which he looked promising. Mr Saxobeat and bumper winner Troubled Times merit respect, too, while Time Marches On is likely to do better in handicaps in due course.
