Forecasts

Might Bite (8/13), Whisper (9/4), Virgilio (14/1), Marinero (14/1), Calett Mad (25/1)

Verdict

Provided that the quirky but talented MIGHT BITE doesn’t repeat his Cheltenham antics he should be able to follow-up his RSA success back on a track that is expected to suit him well. None of the opposition can match his form and it will probably be down to his stablemate Whisper to provide the main opposition. The other three all have plenty of ground to make up on those two but Virgilio did show some promise earlier in the season and the break may well have done him good.
