12/1
Course winner who really caught the eye when fifth of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 20 days ago, running on late under considerate handling. Very much one to consider back down in trip.

Forecasts

Mr Baloo (13/8), Paradoxical (3/1), Way To Dubai (15/2), High Point (10/1), Eden Storm (11/1), Hitched (11/1), Caelan (12/1), How's The Guvnor (12/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for virtually all of these but the vote goes to MR BALOO who is enjoying a fine start to the year and is weighted to bag a third success here. Recent C&D scorer Paradoxical heads the list of dangers, atlhough Caelan is also feared on the back of a promising Southwell fifth. Way To Dubai and Eden Storm need factoring in too.

  1. Mr Baloo13/8
  2. Paradoxical3/1
  3. Caelan12/1
