Forecasts

Captain Bellamy (10/3), Knight Of Allen (4/1), Holloway Queen (11/2), Silver Thorn (6/1), Itseemslikeit (13/2), Jig's Forge (7/1), Tune In A Box (14/1), U Cant Be Serious (16/1), Toss Of A Coin (22/1), Pour Les Filles (28/1)

Verdict

KNIGHT OF ALLEN has taken very well to fences and looks on good mark back in a handicap judged on his latest form. Hat-trick seeking Itseemslikeit has looked a natural over the larger obstacles and rates a serious threat, while U Cant Be Serious is worth another chance now stepping up in trip.
