Forecasts

Sam's Adventure (13/8), Thelongwayaround (9/4), Mighty Thunder (3/1), Flemens Story (9/1), Eagle Crag (20/1), Eagle Ridge (33/1), Uptown Harry (40/1), Fully Booked (50/1), Wataguddo (66/1), Captain Kurt (100/1), Just Brooke (100/1), Rocket Man Rodney (100/1)

Both Thelongwayaround and Flemens Story have posted solid enough efforts over hurdles lately so ought to be competitive here, whilst Eagle Crag could be worth keeping a close eye upon on debut for Carrutherstown trainer Iain Jardine. However, SAM'S ADVENTURE was in a different parish to these rivals in bumpers (3-4) and assuming that he has been nursed back to anything like that level of performance by Brian Ellison should quickly resurrect his once promising racing career.
