Forecasts

Lough Ryn (2/1), I'm To Blame (11/4), Going Gold (4/1), It's All About Me (6/1), Return Ticket (8/1), Bambys Boy (12/1), Trigger Nichol (14/1), Cadougarde (28/1), Phantom Isle (33/1), It's Buster (66/1), Country Delights (250/1)

No obvious standout contender on paper, so it's a case of looking at pedigrees and past trainer bumper records. Return Ticket catches the eye in the silks of Richard Collins. Phantom Isle has the benefit of experience and could make the frame for Chris Grant, whilst both Bambys Boy and Going Gold might well need their respective and well overdue returns to action. Rules newcomer Cadougarde (Stuart Crawford) is worth a market check, as is Lough Ryn. However, the human Trigger Nichol (Craig) takes the mount aboard the Keith Dalgleish trained Paul and Clare Rooney owned newcomer I'M TO BLAME. This Winged Love gelding might need a longer trip in order to be seen at his very best, but the stable saddled their 100th winner of the calendar year in a Newcastle bumper on Friday, so he's a token selection in a difficult looking contest.
