Forecasts

Lightning Flash (11/10), Top Target (7/2), Strong Foundations (9/2), Pep Talking (13/2), Choose A Copper (8/1), Glen Cannel (25/1), Geryville (28/1), Ladronne (40/1), Ninth Loch (40/1)

With several confirmed front-runners present, there won't be much hanging about here. STRONG FOUNDATIONS is one who will benefit from a proper test at this trip judged on what he showed over hurdles last season and while his jumping will need to be on-point at the first time of asking over fences, he was runner-up on his sole start in points and looks every inch a chasing type. Pep Talking is just about feared most ahead of the promising Lightning Flash, while Choose A Copper also has claims.
