Forecasts

Smackwater Jack (6/5), Dr Sanderson (9/4), Rapper (11/4), Fontley House (12/1), Jaunty Velocity (40/1), Quasi (100/1), Spanish Starling (100/1)

With the exception of Fontley House who could do better on the back of a wind op this is all about the penalised horses. Dr Sanderson is saddled with a double penalty for his two wins but the main worry is that his one hurdles defeat came when going this way round before, looking rather awkward. SMACKWATER JACK should find this an easier task than last time with the better surface also to his advantage having already won over C&D. He should have the edge over the other C&D winner Rapper who struggled last time out and needs to bounce back here.
