Forecasts

Gin And Tonic (9/2), Brother Bennett (9/2), Makethedifference (5/1), Ermyn's Emerald (5/1), Briac (11/2), Kalaskadesemilley (7/1), Royal Hall (15/2), Ladofash (9/1), Austin Friars (12/1), Takeitfromalady (20/1), Olymnia (25/1), Laketour Leader (25/1), Elusive Cowboy (50/1), Spice Boat (66/1)

A number of these have very little significant form of which to speak, though Gin And Tonic should be suited by this track on his first run at this venue, while Brother Bennett can't be ruled out having won over fences last time out. However the suggestion is BRIAC. Having run poorly on the Flat last time out, he was seen to much better effect over hurdles off this mark two starts back, and the sounder surface here shouldn't be a problem.
