Forecasts

Supremely Lucky (11/8), Aaron Lad (7/4), Encounter A Giant (5/2), El Scorpio (33/1), Midnight Calamity (66/1)

Not the most enticing of event with two of the three that could win this not actually finishing last time and the other one of the trio being well beaten after looking amiss in the race. AARON LAD to be fair was given a very stiff task on his chasing debut at Cheltenham and he’s proved that he has ability over hurdles so these calmer waters should enable him to produce a better display. Encounter A Giant was running a superb race last time until unshipping his rider two out having looked to come second at worst, a repeat of that effort will see him go close. Supremely Lucky was reported to have suffered an overreach when well beaten at Hexham a return to his Worcester form is required.
