What a race to end the card and we recommend just small wagers here. Our fifty pence will be going on Norcroft, with savers on Stormburst and Forced Upon Us. Christine Dunnett's charge has been in decent enough form all season and wasn't disgraced here last time out. He has now dropped down to his lowest career rating and with Kirsty bringing this one down another five pounds he has to have a chance. Stormburst hit winning form last time out, beating the enigmatic Littledodayno. There were some solid handicap performers behind that day and there could be more to come from this one. Forced Upon Us has also been in good form of late and cannot easily be dismissed with Jamie Spencer on board. Top-weight O' Fourlunda can also be given a squeak on the pick of his form, however Norcroft has his best chance of victory for some time and he just edges the decision.
