Forecasts

Say It Simple (13/8), Youneverletmedown (3/1), Mukhadram Way (9/2), Bob Beach (5/1), Barbelo (11/2), My Sister Jo (9/1), Cock A Hoop (12/1), Deputy Star (22/1), Arthur Shelby (50/1), Prophecy (66/1)

The Richard Fahey-trained duo Say it Simple (form pick) and My Sister Jo (debutante) merit inspection in the market exchanges with the former returning from a five-month absence. Meanwhile, Barbelo could be suited by reverting to a more conventional AW surface after tackling the Fibresand at Southwell latest, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Cock A Hoop can be positively involved. However, if ridden with the same restraint shown as when scoring over 5f here last month, the upped-in-trip (dam is a stamina influence) YOUNEVERLETMEDOWN can defy a penalty for a second straight win for Keith Dalgleish and Equus I.
