Forecasts
Dylanseoghan (15/8), Must Havea Flutter (4/1), Clondaw Westie (9/2), Heresmynumber (11/2), Heavenly Promise (11/2), Grow Nasa Grow (6/1), Psychocandy (8/1)
A maiden chase in all but name, as the collective record under rules of this field reads 0-68 and with that in mind punters are advised to tread very carefully indeed. With everything carrying risks, the tentative suggestion is HERESMYNUMBER, who might have a bit of confidence back after his latest run, drops 2lb going into this and makes his debut in a discipline that he is bred for. Dylanseoghan's form perhaps has a more solid look to it, though less scope for improvement, while Must Havea Flutter appeals more over this longer trip and Clondaw Westie is not ruled out on his chasing introduction.
