Forecasts

Lough Derg Farmer (6/5), Paddys Motorbike (10/3), Like The Sound (7/2), Woodfort (5/1), Blue Rhythm (40/1), Clondaw Rigger (100/1), Griffington (100/1)

LIKE THE SOUND was victorious in handicap company at Stratford last time out three weeks ago and can register a third success over hurdles by taking this novice event. The selection is likely to appreciate the better ground predicted here and can get the better of Lough Derg Farmer who is the other penaised runner in this contest with the maiden Woodfort taken to finish third.
