Forecasts

Cultram Abbey (4/6), Fago (6/4), Molten Brown (11/1), Auldthunder (25/1)

Despite there being four runners this can basically be boiled down to a match between FAGO and Cultram Abbey. The former gets the marginal vote after impressing with a recent thumping 26L victory in a point-to-point under today’s rider while the latter has started to become rather expensive to follow of late. Neither of the other two have the form to win this without mishaps to the leading duo although Molten Brown is marginally preferred for the minor placing.
