Forecasts

Cool Destination (5/4), Shamilan (9/4), Talktomenow (7/2), Fortified Bay (8/1), The Cattlejobber (25/1), Article Of War (66/1)

On official ratings there are only 2lb between the four that are likely to head the betting but three of that quartet can all have doubts levelled at them. Fortified Bay has a significant absence to overcome having joined a new yard while Shamilan has twice disappointed over hurdles going left-handed at Chepstow and he may need to go the other way round to show his best. Talktomenow has to show more than he has of late and the vote goes to the most solid option COOL DESTINATION whose Warwick second last time is the best piece of recent form on offer with his fitness assured. The Cattlejobber is an interesting newcomer who is respected and could get involved here if others underperform.
