Forecasts

Prairie Wolf (6/5), Cerendipity (10/3), Carrigeen Castle (4/1), Blue Fin (15/2), American Gerry (16/1)

Having won impressively on his penultimate start at Doncaster, PRAIRIE WOLF acquitted himself with plenty of credit when fourth in the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham 31 days ago, tiring late on having pressed an upwardly-mobile sort from the off. He's well worth another chance given the strength of that race. Carrigeen Castle is progressing at a rate of knots himself and is feared in his hat-trick bid. Blue Fin completes the shortlist.
