Forecasts

Vamanos (13/8), Saint Freule (4/1), Sunny Destination (13/2), Ballynanty (10/1), Blunder Buss (10/1), Captain Kurt (10/1), General Allenby (12/1), Bullion (12/1), Wild Sam (20/1)

Vamanos deserves to be given another chance although this tight circuit may not be suitable after he struggled around Catterick last time, his jumping also needs to hold up although his Catterick form has been boosted. It’s likely to be a case of which Saint Fruele turns up as he does have two ways of running and despite his win last time is far from the finished article. Ballynanty is still unexposed as a staying hurdler, he needs to bounce back from an early mishap last time plus this trip could be on the short side. CAPTAIN KURT disappointed on his handicap debut but the trip/track appeared all wrong and a return to this venue may well spark a better performance from him.
