Forecasts
River Wylde (1/1), North Hill Harvey (6/4), Capitaine (4/1), Ozzie The Oscar (5/1)
This should go to RIVER WYLDE, who got the job done in good style on his chasing debut at Uttoxeter last time and on the basis of hurdling form should be able to account for his three rivals here, with softer ground no concern should the rain come. Capitaine could provide the main opposition after winning his two chase starts so far in very impressive style but with something to find with the selection on hurdling form, while North Hill Harvey will likely come up short in his bid to make it two C&D wins in a row.
- River Wylde
