Forecasts

Vincenzo (11/4), Twinjets (11/2), Pleasington (13/2), Issam (7/1), Josh The Boss (7/1), Blow Your Wad (8/1), Koukeo (10/1), Teddy Blue (12/1), Triple Trade (18/1), Heltenham (20/1), Glengouly (22/1)

Verdict

ISSAM really caught the eye when sprinting clear from the last for an easy success at Kempton and Tom Symonds' upwardly-mobile chaser can defy a 7 lb weights hike to gain his biggest prize yet. C&D scorer Twinjets could emerge as the main danger with Blow Your Wad another well in the mix after an excellent Ascot third on his first run for Gary & Josh Moore. Josh The Boss, Vincenzo and Glengouly are others who can have a say in this cracking handicap.

  1. ISSAM (FR)
  2. TWINJETS (IRE)
  3. BLOW YOUR WAD (IRE)
