Forecasts

Fire Attack (13/8), Old Town Garde (11/4), Birchdale (7/2), Bold Enough (6/1), Snugsborough Hall (7/1), Kildorrery (8/1), Siberian Star (9/1)

FIRE ATTACK ran his best race to date over fences when second here 3 months ago, just unlucky to bump into an above-average prospect, and looks on a fair mark back in a handicap on that form. The unexposed Old Town Garde could emerge as the biggest threat.
