Forecasts

Ocean Glandore (5/2), Jack Slade (6/1), Billy Flight (6/1), Pahaska (7/1), Bertie Bell (7/1), Artical Eleven (8/1), Mr Mulliner (8/1), Fleurys Fort (14/1), Forever Dylan (16/1), Salsa Sensation (16/1), Fenlon's Hill (20/1), Kalinite (20/1), Billy De Kid (20/1), Don't Be Hasty (50/1), Kutitout (66/1)

Dual course winner BERTIE BELL can make a winning chase debut for local trainer Brian Hamilton. The second of those successes came in a maiden hurdle here last October and he can take this on his first outing since. Artical Eleven is another to have won over hurdles last time and he is taken to finish second ahead of Forever Dylan who is likely to fare better than when making his chasing debut last time.
