Forecasts

Oscar Elite (5/6), Brinkley (9/4), Barbados Buck's (10/3), Honest Vic (9/2), Black Jasper (33/1)

The vote goes to OSCAR ELITE, who might well have made a winning start over fences had he not departed 3 out when going best at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. He's an exciting chasing prospect and, provided he's none the worse for that spill, he can make amends. Barbados Buck's should be much sharper than on chase debut/reappearance so he's feared most with the blinkers fitted, ahead of Honest Vic.
