Forecasts

Baratineur (11/10), Flowery (9/4), Canadian George (9/1), Steel City (11/1), Mac Cennetig (11/1), New List (14/1), Lostock Hall (20/1), Lough Kent (28/1)

This has the look of a winnable event. Baratineur will be top of most people's lists after a good second here last time out, and the England team do so well with these cast-offs from other yards, so it's hard to argue he won't go well. But CANADIAN GEORGE gets plenty of weight as a 4yo and has shown enough in his hurdles starts so far to think that he will improve again for going handicapping, and he can cause a minor upset. Flowery is the other that comes into this in good form, but whether he can repeat that Sedgefield win is open to debate. A market move for Lostock Hall needs heeding too.
