Forecasts

Safe Destination (10/3), R Bernard (5/1), Kap Chidley (11/2), Dreams Of Diamonds (11/2), Ali Star Bert (6/1), Fulgurant (13/2), Gibberwell (8/1), Unai (12/1), Frontier General (12/1), Bob Bank (20/1), Old Page (25/1)

This can go the way of C&D winner ALI STAR BERT, who ran poorly back over hurdles here in June but is expected to get back on track reverted to the larger obstacles following his summer break. Gibberwell was value for extra having done just enough once in front at Hexham back in April so he may emerge as the main danger if ready to roll, with chasing-debutants Bob Bank and Fulgurant completing the shortlist.
