Forecasts

Epidemic (2/1), Typical Man (7/2), Sir Taweel (9/2), Devil's Cub (7/1), No Day Never (8/1), Escobedo (11/1), Whiskey 'n' Chips (20/1), Colden's Passion (20/1), Capaldi (50/1), Cubano (125/1)

Having shaped well on his seasonal reappearance over 7f at Leicester last month, NO DAY NEVER is taken to open his account at the sixth time of asking. Judged on that effort, he will relish returning to this trip. Typical Man did the job in decisive fashion at Doncaster recently and is feared, for all that the handicapper has had his say. Colden's Passion and Devil's Club are also shortlisted.
