Forecasts

Sounds Russian (3/1), Bavington Bob (4/1), Cilluirid (4/1), The Mighty Arc (4/1), Militarian (6/1), Manwell (8/1), Mah Mate Bob (10/1), Road Warrior (14/1), Loughermore (20/1), Bandit D'Ainay (22/1)

This looks competitive for the level but CILLUIRID had a lot in hand when taking his course chase record to 3-3 last time and might be capable of defying the handicapper again. The Mighty Arc won nicely on his Worcester chase bow and rates an obvious danger. Bavington Bob is an interesting newcomer to fences under Brian Hughes, while Sounds Russian is also open to progress back up in trip.
