Forecasts

Nefyn Point (7/2), Bardd (7/2), Go On Brycey Lad (4/1), Gorcombe's Rascal (5/1), Begoodtoyourself (7/1), Ardbruce (9/1), French Kiss (10/1), Sakhee's Conquest (11/1), Chez Hans (14/1), Gates Pass (20/1), Dawn Sunrise (22/1)

Verdict

GORCOMBE'S RASCAL showed much more than previously when runner-up over fences at Chepstow in March and this low-mileage 8-y-o could well be worth chancing to build on that and go one place better now. Begoodtoyourself wasn't disgraced on his latest outing and is feared, whilst Seamus Mullins' pair Ardbruce and Sakhee's Conquest aren't dismissed lightly either.
