Forecasts

Copper And Five (4/1), Semper Augustus (11/2), Musahaba (6/1), Rocket Dancer (6/1), Rum Runner (7/1), Delgrey Boy (9/1), Curfewed (9/1), Twisted Dreams (10/1), Shackabooah (14/1), Florenza (16/1), Twin Appeal (20/1), Cammy (50/1), City Wanderer (66/1)

SHACKABOOAH fared easily best of those to race off the pace at Thirsk a fortnight ago and, now up in trip, he can confirm that he's ahead of his mark. Copper And Five ran really well in a higher band of handicap than this at Nottingham last time and is second choice, with Semper Augustus also of interest.
