Forecasts

It's Obvious (3/1), Jack Snipe (4/1), All Kings (4/1), Sutter's Mill (6/1), Ready Token (13/2), Royals And Rebels (7/1), Swincombe Scorchio (9/1)

READY TOKEN can take advantage ofa falling handicap mark to land this handicap chase. The selection ran well on his penultimate outing and can take advantage of a mark 15lb lower than for his most recent victory. Last months Fontwell victor Royals And Rebels can put an early mishap last time out behind him to claim second ahead of It's Obvious who remains open to improvement.
