Forecasts

Following Chapter (4/6), My Fortune (5/1), Shuil Ceoil (11/2), Catboy (10/1), Unleash The Beast (10/1), Moorland Rambler (14/1), Windsor Blue (20/1), Times A Wastin (22/1), Moonlightinthepark (28/1), Getaway Sam (40/1), Lion Of The Desert (50/1), Ocean Walz (50/1), Outback Frontiers (80/1)

FOLLOWING CHAPTER showed improved form when making his second handicap start a winning one at Warwick last time and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. Unleash The Beast also looks interesting over this longer distance and could be the main danger, ahead of Shuil Ceoil.
