Forecasts

Notachance (9/4), Ardlethen (11/4), Trio For Rio (7/2), Fontley House (4/1), Morraman (8/1)

Morraman and Trio For Rio have vital hurdling experience but both look vulnerable if either Ardlethen or NOTACHANCE are slightly above average. The former recorded a slow time around the testing Bartlemy point-to-point circuit and has since joined the powerful Skelton team. The selection achieved more when sent off favourite for his sole start between the flags only to go down narrowly. Fontley House will be better for his latest run but would make more appeal over 2m4f.
