Forecasts

Burgess Dream (1/1), Veauce De Sivola (9/2), Midnight Mustang (8/1), Cheat The Cheater (8/1), Matrow's Lady (9/1), Ashford Wood (10/1), Over My Head (10/1), Spartilla (10/1), Lala's Sister (16/1), Supreme Bob (20/1), Roparta Avenue (25/1), According To Them (25/1)

Verdict

A dire contest and Neil Mulholland looks to have found a good opportunity to notch up another winner through MATROW'S LADY/b>, though we expect Cheat The Cheater to be very competitive with Richard Johnson on board again. In context there was little wrong with the win for Burgess Dream last time and with only a 1lb rise he clearly makes appeal again, though given how hard horses of such modest ability find it to back up a good run, we will take him on this time. 1. Matrow's Lady 2. Cheat The Cheater 3. Burgess Dream
