Forecasts

Bigbadjohn (5/2), Brandon Hill (11/4), Bugsie Malone (9/2), Ask The Weatherman (5/1), Sir Ivan (10/1), Sandy Beach (12/1), Champagne At Tara (16/1)

Brandon Hill was third over C&D last time and holds major claims on that form but perhaps ASK THE WEATHERMAN can take advantage of this drop in class. He found a Grade 3 at Cheltenham last time too hot and is worth another chance off this higher handicap mark now returning to a more appropriate level of competition. Bigbadjohn was winning at Grade 2 level a year ago and is another who make do better in an easier race than his recent assignments.
