Forecasts

Jack Valentine (5/2), Sheshoon Sonny (10/3), Cilaos Glace (11/2), Little Rory Mac (7/1), Coby Nine (9/1), Twenty Twenty (11/1), Tip Top Cat (11/1), Pure Country (14/1), Ballyneety (25/1), Postman (33/1), Zorlu (300/1)

An open-looking novices' handicap chase in which it could be worth taking a chance on JACK VALENTINE who has been generally consistent over hurdles and has the scope to do better now trying the larger obstacles. Recent Plumpton winner Twenty Twenty is an obvious alternative, while Coby Nine could get back on the up after a break.
