Forecasts
Cailleach Annie (5/2), Ben Arthur (3/1), Mr Love (3/1), The Horsechesnut (6/1), Leith Hill Legasi (8/1), Clondaw Rigger (9/1), Sharney Sike (10/1), Cheat The Cheater (10/1), Black Narcissus (12/1), Kilcascan (16/1), Goodnightirene (33/1)
Most of these find victories hard to come by. Top-weight Mr Love may prove to be a cut above his rivals in time, but has a huge burden in testing ground and a speculative vote goes to CLONDAW RIGGER, who gets in this bang on the 10st mark and, as a wining point-to-pointer, should be able to find a small race over fences. He may have found 2m4f on good ground an inadequate test on his chasing debut and is totally unexposed. Few of the others set the pulse racing, but Ben Arthur ran his best race over fences last time and may improve again in first-time cheekpieces.
- Clondaw Rigger
