Forecasts

Neverbeen To Paris (3/1), Burrows Park (9/2), Sykes (5/1), Captain Tommy (5/1), Aye Right (11/2), Potters Legend (7/1), Theclockisticking (15/2), Tobefair (8/1), Gunfleet (8/1), Two Taffs (8/1), Robin The Raven (10/1), Sunset Showdown (11/1), Doubly Clever (16/1)

Verdict

A typically competitive renewal in which a chance is taken that a wind op has done the trick for THECLOCKISTICKING who ran very well here in last years's Final, and at Aintree after that off higher marks. At the top of the handicap both Tobefair and Sykes are dangers, while Scottish challenger Aye Right catches the eye with the champion on board. Potters Legend is well in on old hurdles form and is a fascinating contender on his first start over timber for a very long time, and a case can also be made for the likes of Sunset Showdown and Gunfleet.
  1. Theclockisticking
  2. Sykes
  3. Potters Legend
