Forecasts

Riders Onthe Storm (4/1), Chatham Street Lad (9/2), Veneer Of Charm (5/1), Spades Are Trumps (11/2), Stooshie (7/1), Great Trango (7/1), Gran Geste (7/1), Game Of War (9/1), Pronounced (33/1)

The 4-y-o's get plenty of weight from their elders here and VENEER OF CHARM makes a lot more appeal than Pronounced, who finds getting his head in front difficult. Conditions look absolutely fine for Gorgon Elliott's charge though, and he can continue the good start he has made to his hurdling career. Spades Are Trumps,Gran Geste and Stooshie have all shown plenty of promise and all have chances in a competitive event.
