Forecasts

Joly Maker (2/1), All Shook Up (5/2), Mozzaro (11/4), Lord Sparky (9/2)

JOLY MAKER caught the eye from off the pace at Uttoxeter last time and almost certainly needs treating as though still in form. His experience over fences tilts the scales in his favour over All Shook Up, who left his hurdles efforts well behind at Hereford 3 weeks ago.
