Forecasts
Vinndication (8/13), Lil Rockerfeller (4/1), Jerrysback (6/1), Count Meribel (7/1)
Only four runners, but a cracking contest with good prize money on offer. Jerrysback took a big step forward last time, but has a bit to find with his three rivals and Lil Rockerfeller would ideally prefer a longer trip. Count Meribel is an admirable sort who showed plenty of courage to land a good prize at Cheltenham, but VINNDICATION is unbeaten in five starts under rules and impressed with his resolve on his chasing debut at Carlisle. The forecast soft ground will be in his favour.
- Vinndication
- Count Meribel
