Ooh Is It¹⁴

Weight: 9-6| Age: 4

T: P D Evans J: Joey Haynes

Forecasts

Lihou (9/4), Kim Wexler (5/2), Bethersden Boy (9/2), Ooh Is It (7/1), Angle Land (17/2), Nordic Glory (11/1), Araifjan (14/1), Autumn Flight (20/1), Ornate (20/1), Amor De Mi Vida (22/1), Corinthia Knight (40/1)

A competitive finale. The well-drawn LIHOU might be worth siding with to capitalise on this drop to 0-70 level for the first time in his career. Araifjan, who has thrived of late, Angle Land and last-time-out C&D scorer Kim Wexler head the many dangers.
