Forecasts

Doc Carver (1/1), Shanroe Saint (2/1), Lettheriverrundry (9/1), The Game Is A Foot (12/1), Apache Song (12/1)

Verdict

Ground conditions will not be favourable for either Lettheriverrundry or Apache Song and so this should be fought out between the two topweights. Shanroe Saint had shown some ability in novice company and took a big step forward in a competitive event at Leicester last time. The handicapper has reacted accordingly and in so doing has limited his chances of denying DOC CARVER a first success under rules. The Irish import is undeniably well-handicapped having chased home an unbeaten hurdler last time and previously splitting a useful pair who have since landed another three races between them. That effort suggests he may be 7lb "well in" and makes him difficult to oppose.
