Forecasts

Silver Concorde (1/10), Felix Mendelssohn (6/1), Pastoral Music (7/1), Kelpies Myth (12/1), Cheenys Venture (14/1), Avenue Of Stars (25/1), Auxiliary (33/1), Millie The Minx (33/1), Heather Burning (50/1), My Jamaican Guy (50/1)

A fairly lopsided contest that should allow SILVER CONCORDE to gain his second hurdles victory despite the shorter trip. Cogent opposition is rather thin on the ground although Felix Mendelssohn is likely to step up on what he’s achieved so far while Don McCain saddles an interesting newcomer in Pastoral Music. Kelpies Myth is the only other one likely to take a hand although he will be seen to better advantage in handicaps.
