Forecasts

Red Devil Star (11/4), Admiral's Secret (7/2), Get Rhythm (7/2), No Ceiling (11/2), Truckers Highway (7/1), Little Stevie (12/1), Diamond Rock (14/1), Grand Coureur (16/1), Vikekhal (25/1), Boxer Beat (66/1)

Verdict

A couple of these horses, namely Vikekhal and Get Rhythm, look as if their respective seasons are only getting underway with a preference for drying spring/summer ground, so conditions could swing in their favour. Diamond Rock is much respected on the bulk of his efforts over fences, including when scoring by 5L over C&D in October, whilst recent Market Rasen scorer Red Devil Star won't necessarily have the race set up as perfectly today as was the case just ten days ago. Therefore, we'll side with Ludlow scorer ADMIRAL'S SECRET. He should have more too offer under a far from punitive 3lb rise (form which could be franked by Road To Rome in the opener).
  1. Admiral's Secret
  2. Get Rhythm
  3. Diamond Rock
