Forecasts

Allduckornodinner (3/1), Smoking Dixie (3/1), Slemish (7/2), I'm An Izz Wizz (11/2), Mill Forge (11/2), Maureen's Star (6/1), Honest Robber (8/1), Chapter Two (9/1), Glacial Shadow (11/1), Last Garrison (11/1), Taboo (16/1)

Verdict

Smoking Dixie, second in a point-to-point already, is noted on rules debut for Gordon Elliott and could have a big say but the yard has been a little quiet of late (8-91) by its own standards and that tempers enthusiasm. Chapter Two and Mill Forge are possible improvers going handicapping while Paul Townend might be able to coax better from Allduckornodinner, a Down Royal winner at Christmas on handicap bow but twice disappointing since. SLEMISH, runner-up in a point-to-point last month under Jamie Codd, could be the one back under rules from a decent mark.
  1. Slemish

  3. Smoking Dixie
