Forecasts

Dance For Chester (11/10), Kilgharrahs Love (9/2), Therussiancomposer (6/1), Weegeebear (13/2), Handmedownmybible (17/2), James The Second (20/1), Historical Fact (22/1), Rushes To Riches (33/1), Khutulun (33/1), The Black Stuff (50/1)

Verdict

The step back up to 7f should suit DANCE FOR CHESTER who can make light of an 8 lb rise for Naas and make a winning start for Stephen Thorne. Last week's course claiming winner Weegeebear is second choice ahead of Handmedownmybible.
