Forecasts

Eamon An Cnoic (2/1), Pistol Park (11/4), Ubaltique (4/1), Positively Dylan (7/1), Uno Valoroso (8/1), Somchine (16/1)

Another competitive heat where it could be the day to catch UBALTIQUE, who goes well here and in testing ground. From today's handy mark, he could leave behind the form of his two runs this autumn. Pistol Park appears to have a tough task on his hands to beat Donald McCain's charge, being 10lb worse off with him for a 3L defeat in January and in any case has a bit to prove after his last run. Eamon An Cnoic is 2-2 here and connections may feel that he is well handicapped, having taken this route after just two runs over fences. He is respected, while Somchine is another who can't be ruled out.
