Forecasts

Craigmor (9/4), Red Giant (3/1), Compadre (5/1), Irish Octave (6/1), Net Work Rouge (10/1), Al Co (12/1), Perfect Timing (12/1), Ganbei (16/1), Free Range (28/1), Chase The Wind (33/1)

Plenty of interest in this event and the market should prove to be a lively one with Red Giant bidding to repeat his Market Rasen romp but not as well handicapped now and facing a stronger field. Al Co can’t be left out of the equation off this mark (won Scottish National off 140) but he’s not as good as he was and this is likely to lie between two progressive types in Irish Octave and CRAIGMOR. The former is chasing another handicap hat-trick and did well to win here last time but the latter might be a further step ahead of the handicapper and with a more scope stepped up in trip for his second try over fences having won well at Stratford.
