Forecasts

Donny Boy (9/4), Castle Rushen (11/4), Adrimel (4/1), It's Good To Laugh (13/2), Miah Grace (8/1), Cerendipity (8/1), Aramax (12/1)

An intriguing race in which the vote goes to CASTLE RUSHEN, who hasn't shown much over fences this season but he's on a good mark back hurdling with conditions to suit/yard in fine form, and the addition of cheekpieces may also aid his cause. Adrimel will also be in his element if the ground remains testing but Donny Boy, who took a step back in the right direction at Kelso, is feared most. Cerendipity isn't without hope but It's Good To Laugh's haphazard jumping makes him a risky proposition.
