Forecasts

Ladykiller (6/4), Oscar Montel (5/1), Ted's Friend (7/1), Wall Of Fame (7/1), Cawthorne Lad (11/1), Debden Bank (11/1), Motion In Limine (12/1), No Fixed Charges (12/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but LADYKILLER got off the mark in this sphere at Uttoxeter with a bit left in the tank so this one-time smart German Flat winner is taken to defy a 7 lb penalty. Motion In Limine also gained his breakthrough hurdles success last time out at Southwell and could have more to offer after a break so is feared most ahead of in-form duo Ted's Friend and Wall of Fame.
