Forecasts

El Borracho (9/4), Empire De Maulde (10/3), Sword Of Fate (10/3), Cracking Destiny (7/2), Tonto's Spirit (9/2), Duke Of Navan (11/2), Some Reign (8/1)

A competitive handicap despite the small field with the vote in favour of CRACKING DESTINY. He typically impressed with his jumping when resuming winning ways at Stratford last month and a 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another big run. Some Reign goes particularly well fresh so is worth a look on his seasonal bow. Duke of Navan completes the shortlist.
