Forecasts

Variety Island (10/3), Spitting Feathers (7/2), Contactless (9/2), The Mouse King (11/2), Kingwell (8/1), My Boy Jack (11/1), Ahamoment (12/1), Hulton Ranger (14/1), Craic At Dawn (16/1)

CONTACTLESS quite readily saw off a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton last time so is selected to make light of a 7 lb rise. Variety Island arrives on the back of 2 good placed efforts on turf last month and did well on this surface at the end of his 2-y-o campaign so he rates a danger. The Mouse King and handicap-newcomer Ahamoment are others to consider.
