Forecasts

Lake Chapala (7/2), Jackthejourneyman (4/1), Torhousemuir (4/1), Calling Des Blins (6/1), Kristal Star (7/1), Marmont (9/1), Irish Hawke (12/1), Tiradia (20/1), Sisania (25/1)

Plenty of these are exposed, while one or two are slipping down to workable handicap marks. Not many are in particularly good form, though, but one who bucks the trend is LAKE CHAPALA, who has won his last two races over fences and tries his luck back at hurdling off a lower mark. It is too soon to be writing off Calling Des Blins, while Marmont has hinted at ability on more than one occasion and can step up on an encouraging run at Kempton last time.
