Forecasts
Palawan Du Mazet (7/4), Ahanaglogh (15/8), Nedzor (5/2), Walkinthecotswolds (16/1), Jackeline (16/1)
This step back up in trip ought to pose no fears given how PALAWAN DU MAZET saw out his race when successful at Taunton 3 weeks ago and he should be very competitive again from a 6 lb higher mark. Ahanaglogh immediately surpassed his hurdles form when second on chase bow at Hereford and is another well worthy of respect.
