Forecasts

Bags Groove (3/1), Burbank (7/2), Sneaky Feeling (13/2), Stamp Your Feet (7/1), Ballyalton (12/1), Caius Marcius (12/1), Return Flight (14/1), Clondaw Kaempfer (16/1), Inner Drive (20/1), Theligny (20/1), Three Musketeers (25/1), Bobo Mac (25/1), Massini's Trap (33/1), Lion In His Heart (33/1), Wood Breizh (50/1)

Ian Williams has his horses in good form at present (6/22) and his BALLYALTON can make a winning return from a lengthy absence in this handicap hurdle. The selection finished runner-up in a Grade 1 at Cheltenham a few years ago and having made up into a useful novice chaser subsequently he can defy the absence to get the better of Burbank who is another to have run well at the highest level while the lightly raced Inner Drive can finish third today.
