Forecasts
Kingrullah (2/1), Enfin Phil (9/4), Ormesher (7/1), Bulls Head (7/1), Lord Roccoco (8/1), Arctic Road (12/1), Nicely Indeed (16/1)
It’s not hard to have doubts about some of these with Bulls Head having to reconnect with hurdles after several chasing mishaps, Nicely Indeed not in the same form as when winning this last year and Enfin Phil still battling with the handicapper. Lord Roccoco appears to be on the upgrade and still nicely weighted for his second handicap start but he may have run into a real progressive type here in KINGRULLAH. Pauline Robson’s charge comes here looking for a course hat-trick with no worries over the trip or ground and although he’s up 8lb for his last win he looks more than able to cope with that impost with the excellent Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle.
