Forecasts
As You Like (7/2), Kincora Fort (4/1), Land League (4/1), Bestwork (11/2), Bigpipenotobacee (9/1), Whin Park (12/1), Speedalong (12/1), King Cool (12/1), Appletree Lane (16/1)
Bestwork has his quirks but he does jump well and will be dangerous if he can establish and easy lead here despite a mark 8lb above his last winning one when he was in a real purple patch. Speedalong switches to fences quickly but does look to need some help from the handicapper and its top weight BIGPIPENOTOBACEE that makes most appeal dropping 3lb from his last mark having shown some promise on his chase debut despite not completing. Land League comes from a stable in form and now the handicapper is giving him a chance he could find himself having a chance to open his account over fences. As You Like has also been given a chance by the assessor but his finishing effort appears to leave a lot to be desired of late.
- Bigpipenotobacee
- Land League
- Bestwork
