Forecasts

I'dliketheoption (11/4), Deadly Approach (4/1), Ifandbutwhynot (9/2), Abidjan (9/2), Un Prophete (7/1), Jayo Time (9/1), Lord Ben (14/1)

An interesting little heat with some in-form types going to post and iy should be run at a sound pace with the likes of Lord Ben and Deadly Approach likely to go forward. I’dliketheoption will be favoured by a return here and fences that he can handle and this strong travelling sort should go close along with the back from a break Jayo Time who acts well around here. IFBUTANDWHYNOT is still well-in off this mark though on his old form and he looked a rejuvenated sort last time out and he could well follow up his Southwell win off just a 6lb higher mark.
