Forecasts

Willard Creek (11/8), Grantley Hall (3/1), Thin Lizzy (7/2), Muddy Lynn (9/1), Tiers Of Joy (12/1), Karapiro (22/1), Little Finn (33/1), Wee Fat Mac (50/1), Elisheva (125/1)

WILLARD CREEK sets the standard for the others to aim at and can get off the mark on his reappearance. Having shaped encouragingly on his first 2 starts, including here on debut, the 4-y-o could be able to resume his progress with the drop in trip to suit. Thin Lizzy can give her running again and give the selection most to think about, with Grantley Hall open to progress after her promising debut.
