Settings
Selected odds by:
Irish raider fell on point-to-point debut in December but has since recorded successive wins at Tallow, Durrow and on hunter chase debut at Cork over 3m last month. Runner-up scored last week and he has to be considered a leading contender.
Thorough stayer who was third in this last year at 25/1. Needs to rebound bound from a poor run at Cheltenham and others look stronger.
Landed three minor point-to-point races before having his limitations exposed at Warwick last week. Has a lot to find on that evidence.
Progressive between the flags and has landed three uncompetitive events. Faces a much bigger test but represents a yard who have a good record at this fixture.
10-20 in point-to-points and grabbed his first hunter chase a month ago at Chepstow. Meets better horses this time and he was pulled up in this last year.
Young horse who has already won three point-to-points and who chased home a useful sort at Down Royal earlier this month. Good Irish amateur on board and hard to dismiss.
Much improved this year and she has run out the wide margin winner of two of her three hunter chases under today's rider. Excuses for Ascot defeat and she looks dangerous in receipt of the mares allowance.
Has won seven of her eleven starts and annihilated a good field at Cheltenham last time. Stays well and has a leading amateur on board so looks the one to beat.
Forecasts
Kalabaloo (5/4), Casey Jem (3/1), Pink Eyed Pedro (7/1), Winged Leader (8/1), Law Of Gold (9/1), In Arrears (12/1), Changeofluck (25/1), Chase Me (50/1)
KALABALOO made short work of Theatre Territory at Cheltenham when justifying market confidence and fulfilling the promise shown in point-to-points. The young Irish pair, Casey Jem and Winged Leader, have strong credentials and could make the trip worthwhile. Law Of Gold is a progressive sort representing top connections, whilst In Arrears has run out a comfortable winner of two hunter chases and is worth a try at this higher level.
- Kalabaloo
- Casey Jem
