Forecasts

Ballinsker (9/4), Courtland (10/3), Lord Schnapps (4/1), Repetitio (4/1), Dunbar (5/1)

LORD SCHNAPPS made a promising start for Dr Richard Newland when runner-up at Worcester and can go one better here off the same mark. Dunbar is still to register a victory but arrives in very good nick and looks the one to give him most to do, although chasing-debutant Ballinsker is not taken lightly either on the back of his Southwell hurdling success.
