Forecasts

The Cashel Man (6/4), Darling Maltaix (13/8), Reserve Tank (11/4), Top Up The Fashion (25/1)

A repeat of his latest effort can see RESERVE TANK register a second hurdling victory in this small field novices contest. The selection faces strong opposition here but can get the better of his rivals with The Cashel Man, a beaten favourite last time out taken to chase him home ahead of Darling Maltaix.
