Forecasts

Birdsandthebees (5/1), Three In A Row (5/1), Love Like This (5/1), Gabriel Ranger (13/2), Junot (8/1), Big Island (10/1), Snow Punt (10/1), Another Ocana (10/1), Chainofconsequence (11/1), Silent Flight (14/1), Must Be Dreaming (16/1), Island Mccoo (25/1), Coole Arcade (28/1), Dontdooddson (50/1)

A few with chances but it is worth siding with BIRDSANDTHEBEES to bounce back in style over fences having got stuck in the mud over hurdles here last time out. In-form course scorer Another Ocana tops the list of dangers, athough handicap-debutant Gabriel Ranger and in-form pair Must Be Dreaming and Junot are others well worthy of consideration.
