Forecasts

Doitforthevillage (6/4), Alberta (9/2), Garde Forestier (11/2), Hear The Chimes (6/1), Level Of Intensity (12/1), Birch Hill (16/1), Stonecoldsoba (18/1), First Quest (28/1), Spader (33/1), Occasionally Yours (40/1)

Verdict

This looks easier than the last race DOITFORTHEVILLAGE contested when he travelled well for a long way before the effects of an infection related absence took effect. His mark looks attractive in comparison to the improvement he has shown over fences and he can take this en-route to Aintree. Hear The Chimes is a C&D winner who has dropped to a lenient mark, whilst Alberta is capable of defying his revised mark. Garde Forestier is weighted to go close and Spader is better than his last run indicates.
