Forecasts

Old Jewry (13/8), Brandy Pad (2/1), The Road Home (3/1), Eagle Ridge (4/1), Casimir Du Clos (5/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that THE ROAD HOME can put his course experience to good use and finally get off the mark over fences at the eleventh time of asking. The gelding is very well handicapped in comparison to his hurdles form and, having gone close over C&D around this time last year, he has a lot going for him today. Old Jewry has scope for improvement over fences and will be a threat if he can better recent hurdles form, while Eagle Ridge needs to be sharper at his fences but doesn't have much to find to be involved in the shake-up. He, along with Brandy Pad has been under the knife for a wind operation since last seen, so support in the betting could be significant.
