50/1

Six-race maiden, hard to fancy on second start for new connections; last seen finishing 12/12 at Navan last week; hard to see him being good enough.

Mogwli^v⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 63

Daughter of Society Rock; hasn't looked a winner in waiting in four career starts so far and remains easy to oppose.

Forecasts

Slade Runner (11/10), Mogwli (4/1), Sebs Star (11/2), Christines Angel (15/2), The Cola Kid (12/1), Via Veneto (14/1), Village Rock (16/1), Take My Hand (20/1), Megans Beau (25/1), Littleton Hall (50/1)

A difficult race to find a winner given the lack of quality on show. A very tentative nod is given to SLADE RUNNER who is one of the few who has been able to race with a modicum of consistency. Mogwli has shown glimpses of ability and will appreciate any easing of conditions while Christines Angel is only open to improvement having not shown too much ability to date.
