Forecasts

Good Friday Fairy (2/1), Margaret's Legacy (2/1), Ernest Gray (9/4), Scrum Diddly (5/2), Lagonda (4/1), Not At Present (9/2), Peejaybee (15/2), Kadex (12/1)

Verdict

SCRUM DIDDLY figures on a handy-looking mark so is taken to open his account over fences in a handicap where several arrive with question marks against them. Both Margaret's Legacy and Lagonda were not foot perfect on their most recent starts at Warwick and Market Rasen respectively but still command plenty of respect and can chase home Harry Derham's 6-y-o in that order.

  1. SCRUM DIDDLY (IRE)
