Forecasts

The Wise Traveller (11/4), Copshill Lad (7/2), Beaufort West (4/1), Hillfinch (5/1), William Ewart (11/2), Rolling River (11/2), Tiny Tantrum (13/2), Edison Kent (8/1)

The vote goes to THE WISE TRAVELLER, who made every post a winning one back in this sphere at Huntingdon on his second start for this yard and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Copshill Lad is 0-7 over hurdles but he has lost little caste in defeat the last twice and is second choice. Tiny Tantrum will be a threat if ready to roll following eight months off and William Ewart also enters calculations.
