Forecasts

Ripstick (9/2), Two Hoots (9/2), Roxyfet (11/2), Stormbay Bomber (11/2), Felix Mendelssohn (6/1), Grand Coureur (6/1), Frankie Ballou (12/1), Thomas Blossom (14/1), Istimraar (25/1), Take The Crown (40/1), Cyrano Star (50/1)

The obvious conclusion to draw here would be that dual winner of this event and six-times course winner Roxyfet has a fine chance although both his wins in this contest have come off lower marks. Pulled up last year in this race off today’s mark he might find things a little tougher with RIPSTICK reverting to 2m the choice this time around. Yet to win under Rules there was plenty to like about his run at Hexham last time over 4f further and this may well be the opportunity for his maiden win. Two Hoots with Brian Hughes taking the ride has slipped back down to a workable mark and he’s in the mix along with three-time C&D winner Frankie Ballou and Felix Mendelssohn.
