Forecasts

Crossing The Bar (11/8), Individualiste (2/1), Insouciant Dallier (7/2), Oneforgonzo (4/1), Walk In Time (5/1), Cafe Del Mar (9/1), Zolpharine (10/1), Muskerry Rock (33/1), It's His Life (80/1)

INDIVIDUALISTE ran his best race over fences when fourth at Gowran last time and a repeat of that form could be good enough here. Crossing The Bar has been in good form over hurdles for his new yard this autumn and will be a threat if he can reproduce that form now back chasing. Oneforgonzo may prove best of the remainder.
