Forecasts

Solatentif (11/10), Work In Progress (6/5), Forever Field (9/4), Ravens Hill (15/2), The Land Agent (50/1)

WORK IN PROGRESS has defeated a couple of useful rivals when making all the running the last twice at Market Rasen and he can complete a hat-trick by taking this five runner novice chase. Forever Field, a winner at the third time of asking over fences at Worcester last time can chase the selection home here ahead of Solatentif who has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and who put in a good effort on chasing debut in January.
