Forecasts

Sleeping Satellite (15/8), Disguisedlimit (5/2), Rossbridge (11/4), Dunnet Head (9/2)

Verdict

DISGUISEDLIMIT shaped promisingly and did well to figure as prominently as he did having been left with to much to do when runner-up on stable/chase debut at Newcastle 24 days ago. Very much appealing as the type to progress in this sphere, he shades preference over in-form Sleeping Satellite who bids to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts over fences.
