Forecasts

Pitempton Power (2/1), Carry On The Magic (5/2), Bollingerandkrug (10/3), Castletown (8/1), Balranald (11/1), Diable De Sivola (18/1)

The most solid option is PITEMPTON POWER, who immediately stepped up on his hurdles exploits when making a winning chase debut at Carlisle and he should have more to offer in this sphere. There's good reason to believe that Carry On The Magic may also leave his hurdling form behind now tackling the larger obstacles for his top yard and he is next on the list ahead of Bollingerandkrug.
