Forecasts

The G Wizard (11/4), Abbey Scope (7/2), Sanilam (11/2), Queen Roslyn (6/1), Keyboard (17/2), Linalene (10/1), Killycarn (11/1), Loulou Madrik (12/1), Kool Raoul (14/1), Noonetellsmenothin (16/1), Who's Glen (25/1)

Verdict

A valuable pot has drawn a competitive field and it could pay to concentrate on LINALENE and Abbey Scope, who both look capable of exploiting their current marks if jumping better. The former is narrowly preferred given he could improve for the longer trip, while The G Wizard should be seen to better effect back in a handicap.

  1. LINALENE (FR)
  2. ABBEY SCOPE
  3. THE G WIZARD (IRE)
