Forecasts

Gold Link (9/4), Trapista (11/4), Captain Ivan (16/5), Benefit Run (7/1), Elios D'Or (15/2), Lucky Lover Boy (9/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (14/1), Vinnie The Hoddie (40/1)

GOLD LINK looked to have the race sewn up before weakening on chase debut at Cartmel but he perhaps made his effort earlier than ideal there and the bulk of the performance was positive, so he is taken to make his second start over fences a winning one. Captain Ivan had plenty go his way at Perth but is thriving and should give a bold bid for the hat-trick, whilst Irish raider Benefit Run is interesting after a recent good effort over hurdles.
