Forecasts

Kilcullen Flem (5/2), Battle Dust (9/2), Chanceiton (5/1), Tickenwolf (11/2), Total Assets (13/2), Alto Des Mottes (10/1), Georges Conn (11/1), Crank Em Up (12/1), Amilliontimes (12/1), Apache Pilot (20/1), Scotswell (20/1)

Verdict

March C&D winner Kilcullen Flem has been here and got the t-shirt so to speak but the worry today is that he's likely to be taken on for the lead by the veteran Scotswell and that is almost certain to make him vulnerable late in the race. Both the Irish raider Georges Conn and the former Hunter Chaser Battle Dust should prove capable of seeing out this searching test of stamina. However, pardoning the pun a chance is taken on the lightly-weighted and lightly-raced chaser CHANCEITON. He competes off the back of some solid recent hurdles efforts, including when a staying on third under 7lb claimer Cameron Wadge earlier this month.
