Forecasts

Always A Reason (5/4), Ailt An Chorrain (2/1), Zero Tolerance (4/1), Starman (11/1), Dalyotin (18/1)

Having gone the right way over hurdles, ALWAYS A REASON took further strides forward in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when making a winning chase debut at Newcastle 15 days ago, jumping/travelling well and asserting gradually. A 5 lb rise for that looks fair and Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o makes plenty of appeal once more. Zero Tolerance following his solid reappearance third here rates next best, ahead of Starman.
