Forecasts

Big Nick (3/1), Billingsley (7/2), Balgemmois (7/2), Saint De Vassy (4/1), Arian (8/1), Grania O'Malley (8/1), Espion De Saflo (16/1), Corri Lindo (20/1)

Verdict

Quite an interesting little contest and one that should see Grania O’Malley in the thick of things with a return to handicaps looking to suit and her stable at last seemingly finding their form this season. Espion De Saflo and Saint De Vassy look two similar types in that they ought to be able to win over fences but both come here with questions to answer after their latest outings. BILLINGSLEY ran far better than the U in his form figures suggests last time paying the price for trying to go with two smart sorts his hurdles form came on deep ground and he’ll appreciate the move back to 2m. Balgemmois is worth another glance in the betting after last time as is Corri Lindo.
  1. Billingsley
  2. Grania O'Malley
  3. Corri Lindo
