Forecasts

The Drone (9/4), Double Court (3/1), Thomas Todd (9/2), Twasn't The Plan (9/2), Between The Waters (7/1), Virnon (10/1)

Not easy to solve. Double Court has been making the most of what looked a lenient handicap mark but his fun might be over for the time being, and preference is for THE DRONE, who might prefer another couple of furlongs but is unexposed over fences and should have more to come, and if he can jump a bit better than he did on his only chase start here in January, could be the one to beat. Twasn't The Plan is doing little wrong and should be there at the business end, and neither Between The Waters nor Thomas Todd are easily ruled out.
