Forecasts

Elleon (3/1), Ballylinch (10/3), The Paddy Pie (9/2), Oceans Red (11/2), Catlin (7/1), Crixus's Escape (11/1), Harry Du Berlais (11/1), Ribeye (11/1), Mister Bells (16/1), Enforcement (25/1), Sigurd (25/1), Voice Of Hope (33/1), Tumbling Dice (200/1)

Verdict

A few in with a squeak but preference is for BALLYLINCH, who matched his winning chasing debut form at Sedgefield when finishing runner-up there 6 weeks ago and Micky Hammond's lightly-raced 6-y-o can go in again from an unchanged mark. Second choice is Oceans Red, who went close to exploiting a lower hurdles mark when narrowly denied at Huntingdon last month, with the consistent Elleon also fancied be in the mix again.

  1. BALLYLINCH (IRE)
  2. OCEANS RED
  3. ELLEON (FR)
