Forecasts

Another Venture (15/8), Scotchtown (5/1), Goodtoknow (13/2), Houblon Des Obeaux (7/1), Regal Flow (15/2), Streets Of Promise (8/1), Spookydooky (20/1), Firebird Flyer (25/1)

Verdict

Goodtoknow captured an arguably weaker renewal of this race 12 months ago but the fact that he now races off a 4lb lower mark reflects his current form, though a first-time visor may spark him back into life. For all that, recent winners Regal Flow and Another Venture make more appeal, though any value may lie with SCOTCHTOWN. Nigel Twiston-Davies' lightly-raced six-year-old wasn't at his best when 11L in arrears of Another Venture at Chepstow last time but re-opposes on 7lb better terms and gives the impression there may another level in him.
