Texas Forever is in good form and may give this a go from the front, and if allowed to get into a rhythm might be hard to peg back. But a chance is taken that FRANKIE BALLOU will improve again from that first start for Joanne Foster at Catterick, where he jumped well and wasn't beaten far at all. He should get a nice tow into the race from Texas Forever and can take over in the closing stages. Storming Strumpet has the ability but looks weak in the finish - she might have to settle for third here.
1. Frankie Ballou
2. Texas Forever
3. Storming Strumpet
