Forecasts
Spadestep (13/8), Pony Soprano (7/4), The Grafter (5/2), Double Digits (6/1), Kids Say Lastgojoe (14/1)
Having chased home a dual subsequent scorer on his chase debut at Aintree, SPADESTEP didn't jump with the same fluency when filling the same spot at Doncaster 45 days ago. However, the application of cheekpieces may help in that regard and he's worth another chance with potential for better remaining intact. Pony Soprano eased in class and Double Digits can provide chief resistance.
