Forecasts

Uncle Alastair (4/6), Bulkov (3/1), Saint Freule (7/1), Eagle Ridge (20/1), Keyboard Gangster (33/1), Chasseur De Tete (50/1), Up Helly Aa King (200/1)

But for a fall on his hurdling debut UNCLE ALASTAIR would be 5/5 in his career and have an unblemished record to his name but he has had some lofty entries to his name and the thought is that he’ll be able to give weight away to all here. Bulkov certainly showed plenty of enthusiasm on his handicap debut last time out but he’ll do well to beat his main rival in receipt of just 6lb. Most of the others have something to prove with Saint Freule having to learn to settle better and Eagle Ridge needing to bounce back to his earlier runs to take a hand here.
