Forecasts
Follow The Bear (15/8), Station Master (2/1), Aloomomo (5/2), Plus One (7/1), Janes Boutique (50/1)
A small field but this could get competitive and the suggestion to get the better of the two recent winners in the field is ALOOMOMO. Rated 140 over fences at his best, he has not yet reached those heights over hurdles, but he came back well from a break last time and that should have him spot on for this. On official ratings there should be little to chose between Follow The Bear and Station Master, who both come to the track in winning form, though giving weight to the selection. Follow The Bear was disappointing here over shorter earlier in the year and may win that particular argument today given that he is a little more battle-hardened.
