Forecasts
Spirit Of Hale (5/2), Heavenly Promise (7/2), Jack In A Box (9/2), Is Love Alive (6/1), Pistol Shoot (10/1), Johnny Yuma (12/1), Killare Castle (12/1), Amerton Lane (20/1), Touch Of Steel (20/1)
An uncompetitive contest which provides the likes of Killare Castle and Heavenly Promise with another chance to shed the maiden tag over fences, but the suspicion is that they'll be found wanting once more. Spirit Of Hale is the obvious angle being a winner over C&D last month, and probably value for more than the final margin a 4lb rise could well be lenient. However, JACK IN A BOX has always looked a handicap chaser in the making, and whilst it's taking a risk investing heavily on his return to action (finished lame in late October), he's worth a small investment in a very winnable contest.
