2/5

Well backed and much improved when easily opening account in C&D handicap 9 days ago. A penalty is unlikely to stop him if showing up here in similar form.

Forecasts

Movethechains (2/5), Lanspark (9/2), Entre Deux (11/1), Scorpion Haze (16/1), Born At Midnight (28/1), Shanroe Smooch (40/1)

It's hard to see beyond last week's easy C&D winner MOVETHECHAINS who is well treated under a 7 lb penalty. Lanspark made a winning start in handicaps over hurdles when last seen in the spring and is the obvious one for the forecast spot if taking to fences at the first time of asking.
