18/1

Useful hurdler/chaser at his best. Not so good nowadays but landed handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f) in September. Not disgraced when sixth at Kelso (22.7f, soft) 22 days ago so possibilities back chasing.

Forecasts

Ballycoose (11/10), Dubai Days (11/4), Whodini (9/2), Red Happy (9/1), Dallas Des Pictons (18/1)

Irish-raider BALLYCOOSE has made a bright start over fences and is faniced to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his good second here with this return to further also a positive. Fellow C&D scorer Dubai Days seems sure to have a say too, with both Whodini and Red Happy both well in the mix too.
