Forecasts

Shininstar (3/1), Longhousesignora (3/1), Bolving (7/2), Ask Catkin (5/1), Ruby Russet (6/1), Gold Bonne Raine (14/1), Ortenzia (20/1), Muilean Na Madog (33/1), Nomination Game (33/1)

There's plenty of holes to pick in the form of the majority of these runners and whilst it's still early days for some over fences, this is undoubtedly a weak and very winnable race. Ortenzia could prove effective over this longer trip (essentially is a shade one-paced at the minimum). Gold Bonne Raine is still to visit the winners enclosure over hurdles and would appear to hold place prospects at best on her chasing debut, so we'll side with the top-weight LONGHOUSESIGNORA. She probably needed the race on her chasing debut at Bangor and won't be at all inconvenienced by today's greater test of stamina (should the forecast rain arrive).
