Forecasts
Escapeandevade (5/4), Sunnyvilla (11/2), Cabhfuilfungi (6/1), Pony Soprano (13/2), My Noble Lord (7/1), Master Breffni (16/1), Primoz (16/1), Netywell (20/1)
Cases can be made for most of these and the suggestion is MASTER BREFFNI, who was progressive switched to fences last term and shaped well all things considered on return at Catterick. The forecast slower ground here won't be an issue, neither will the drop in trip given that this promises to be a strongly-run affair. The form of Escapeandevade's latest C&D effort looks very solid and he is a much-respected main danger. The 4-y-o My Noble Lord and Cabhfuilfungi are others to consider.
