Forecasts

Fingerontheswitch (5/2), Beeves (4/1), Troika Steppes (4/1), Rear Admiral (9/2), Saffron Wells (9/2), Adam du Breteau (8/1)

This is likely to be a very tactical little event and while the likes of Fingerontheswitch and Adam du Breteau are respected and likely to be thereabouts if they run up to the best of their respective abilities, it's interesting to note that REAR ADMIRAL is back over a three-mile trip. He had no trouble with the distance as a youngster and won a point-to-point over 3m without too much fuss. Mick Easterby's gelding won well last time out and, from just a 3lb higher mark, he has a live chance of reeling them in once again. Beeves has a stiff test in giving weight away all round but is nearing an attractive mark and is also one to keep tabs on.
