Forecasts

Ballymountain Boy (3/1), Bound Hill (10/3), Paddy's Field (9/2), Definitly Grey (8/1), Gask Ridge (17/2), A Boy Named Suzi (12/1), Miss Yeats (14/1), Viva Rafa (14/1), Crack Du Tay (25/1)

Bound Hill is up another 4lb in his bid for a hat-trick here after impressive recent wins at Fontwell and should go well if this sounder surface is no hindrance. Ballymountain Boy shaped well on his handicap debut at Taunton and is a worthy contender but the booking of the champion jockey to partner the returning DEFINITLY GREY may be notable. He's 7lb higher than when scoring at Southwell in the autumn and can take a leading role here if primed to go. Gask Ridge might be the best of the rest on his second start for new trainer.
