Forecasts

Meldrum Lad (4/1), Wade Harper (9/2), My Wigwam Or Yours (5/1), Bagging Turf (11/2), Compadre (8/1), Between The Waters (12/1), Miracle Cure (12/1), Spoilt Rotten (12/1), Breath Of Blighty (14/1), Sissinghurst (33/1)

COMPADRE makes his chasing debut here having disappointed in a handicap hurdle last time out. The selection ran some decent races over hurdles including when runner-up at Carlisle in December and can make a winning chase debut here. Wade Harper can register another placed effort following his Uttoxeter second last time out while Bagging Turf is also of interest returning to better ground here.
