Forecasts

Jazz Party (11/5), Murhib (5/2), Mahanakhon Power (11/2), Sharp Suited (7/1), Chocolate Box (8/1), Cochise (8/1)

COCHISE hasn't been seen since a ready winner of a Bath handicap in October 2019 but he's bred to need time so his absence may not be such a bad thing. The steadily progressive Murhib added another win to his tally over C&D 2 weeks ago and should go well again, while Jazz Party's novice win at Kempton last summer has worked out well so he is one to note on handicap bow.
