Forecasts

Step Back (8/13), Captain Buck's (2/1), Sam Red (6/1), Remind Me Later (13/2), Native Gamut (25/1), Iskrabob (100/1)

It's not hard to make out a credible case for the two previous chase winners in this line-up, Sam Reid and Remind Me Later but any value may lie with the unpenalised duo Captain's Buck and STEP BACK who have each shaped well over fences without winning. Of that pair, marginal preference is for the less exposed latter who had a couple of subsequent winners in arrears when finishing a runner-up to Tanit River on ground softer than ideal at Sandown last time.
