Forecasts

Wicked Willy (7/2), Relentless Dreamer (4/1), Timeforwest (6/1), Rolling Dylan (13/2), Orbasa (13/2), Sandy Beach (8/1), Earthmoves (12/1), Broadway Buffalo (16/1), Moss On The Mill (16/1), According To Harry (16/1), Royalraise (25/1)

A competitive handicap chase in which a couple of the runners aren't fully exposed over fences. Timeforwest has won at this track over hurdles, and it's still early days for her over fences, likewise Wicked Willy was far from disgraced when finishing just over 11L fourth to the progressive handicapper Audacious Plan at Ludlow on just his third start over the larger obstacles. Both the returning Sandy Beach and Earthmoves should have conditions very much to their liking, but we'll stick with the form horse and top-weight RELENTLESS DREAMER who holds a couple of these rivals on his Ludlow second to Audacious Plan, and was an 11L winner on his sole previous visit to this track in November 2016 (admittedly from an 11lb lower mark).
