Forecasts

Josies Orders (11/4), Kingswell Theatre (4/1), More Of That (4/1), Cantlow (7/1), Tiger Roll (7/1), Bless The Wings (12/1), Kapville (12/1), Mtada Supreme (25/1), My Hometown (50/1)

KAPVILLE has plenty of experience in cross-country contests in his native France and he can complete a double having scored on heavy ground at Lyon-Parilly last month. The selection is versatile in terms of going and he can take this receiving weight from all bar one of today's rivals. Josies Orders has to concede weight to all of his rivals as he bids to defend his unbeaten record here and he is taken to claim second on this occasion. The veteran Bless The Wings is taken to add another placed effort over this course to his resume while it will be interesting to see if Kingswell Theatre can follow up last months victory over this course.
