Forecasts

Federici (7/2), Wolf Sword (7/2), Crievehill (5/1), Church Hall (11/2), Clan Legend (15/2), Granville Island (8/1), Swing Hard (12/1), Voyage A New York (16/1)

Competitive fayre in store here and it was hard not to be impressed by the manner in which CHURCH HALL dispatched his field with an easy win on his Lingfield chase debut last month. A 10lb rise for that looks fair and although he will probably need to up his game against more seasoned campaigners here, he is open to some improvement over fences and gets the nod. Federici could go very well under top weight after a 4lb drop and is feared, while Granville Island, Swing Hard and Voyage A New York are others who make some appeal.
