Forecasts

Classic Ben (11/4), Overland Flyer (3/1), Baden (7/2), Poker Play (5/1), Gunfleet (5/1), Allelu Alleluia (15/2), Oh Land Abloom (9/1)

Baden may not have his ground but has the advantage of chasing experience which will count for a lot. Gunfleet won a couple of hurdles and his sound technique augurs well for a career in this sphere, whilst Oh Land Abloom and Poker Play are attractively weighted on their chase debuts if the market suggests they are ready following their breaks. Paul Nicholls has his team in good shape and OVERLAND FLYER is the best handicapped of these ahead of a return to 3m. He developed some quirks when last seen but he is hard to overlook off this mark and in the likelihood that fences will bring out the best in him.
