Forecasts

Striking Out (2/1), Icaque de L'Isle (10/3), Town Parks (7/2), Prime Pretender (5/1), Out The Glen (7/1), Stamp Your Feet (25/1), Blazer's Mill (28/1)

STRIKING OUT is very lightly raced for his age, and having gone within a head of making a winning start in this sphere at Ludlow last month, Henry Oliver's charge looks to hold solid credentials of going one better with this slightly longer trip in his favour. Icaque de L'isle will need to jump better than last time but he can give the selection most to think about, with Prime Pretender rounding off the shortlist.
