Forecasts

Black Corton (10/3), Reikers Island (4/1), Calipto (9/2), Coneygree (11/2), Regal Encore (6/1), Art Mauresque (13/2), Crievehill (12/1), Smooth Stepper (20/1)

REIKERS ISLAND may well have won but for a bad last fence error latest and even after that he led until ½f out over 3m2f. This trip will suit better and providing there is no repeats jumping wise he can land this. Black Corton ran a very eye-catching race and this prolific chaser rates the biggest threat now back to an ideal trip. Coneygree would bring the house down with a win and that is entirely possible.
