Forecasts

Ain't That A Shame (11/10), Blackstair Rocco (15/8), Oscar Academy (5/2), Captain Kangaroo (7/2), Walking On Glass (13/2), Mr Caplan (8/1), Quaker Island (17/2), Kingston Kid (25/1)

AIN'T THAT A SHAME disappointed in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen in March but he'd shown smart form over fences previously and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to make a winning return. Oscar Academy is next best ahead of Blackstair Rocco.
