Forecasts

Epeius (11/2), Kaafy (6/1), Ascended (13/2), Bugler Bob (7/1), Mr Buttons (7/1), Lucky Lodge (8/1), Metallic Black (8/1), Daafr (17/2), Ricochet (12/1), Global Humor (16/1), Choosey (22/1), Penny Pot Lane (28/1), Jonboy (33/1), Ower Fly (40/1)

A fair puzzle to start the nine-race card with four of the field having meet here recently in a race that saw EPEIUS finish second to an unexposed sort who has run well under a penalty since. Ben Haslam’s charge could well confirm the form here and with no progressive types in the race seal his fifth C&D win. Bugler Bob was just behind in the third with Ascended back in fifth in that aforementioned contest and both that pair should once again get into the shake-up. Mr Buttons Is consistent but passed over for win purposes given his mark and win/run ratio while Choosey would be of more interest were it not for a stall 1 draw. Dual C&D winner Lucky Lodge is also worth a mention in dispatches.
