Forecasts

Cloth Cap (9/4), First Assignment (4/1), Penn Lane (6/1), Early Retirement (6/1), Larry (15/2), Grand Turina (17/2), Natter Jack Croak (10/1), Potters Hedger (12/1), Simply The West (25/1), Tynecastle Park (25/1), Ding Ding (50/1), Classic Tune (50/1)

CLOTH CAP can register a double by taking this competitive looking handicap hurdle under top weight today. The selection was making his handicap debut when winning impressively a month ago and he can defy an 11lb rise in the weights today. The drop in trip can see Early Retirement finish second on his return to action having finished runner-up in a staying hurdle when last racing two months ago while Potters Hedger who has had a wind operation since his most recent outing can finish third on today's handicap debut.
