Forecasts

Mack The Knife (4/6), Loch Ness Monster (5/1), Lady Elysia (5/1), Siavash (7/1), Prismatic (20/1), Murchison River (80/1), Al Mikdam (125/1)

A very uncompetitive handicap and MACK THE KNIFE should take all the beating. He's gone up 24 lb over the winter but looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain a fourth all-weather win here. Lady Elysia looks to be the main danger after a series of good efforts last autumn.
