Mr Squires¹³

Forecasts

Noodle Mission (9/4), Sandy Paradise (4/1), Mr Squires (9/2), Signcastle City (11/2), G'daay (17/2), Epic Express (17/2), Revolutionise (9/1), Overnight Oats (12/1), Dutch Kingdom (18/1), Triggered (22/1), Al Marmar (40/1), Blue Yonder (80/1)

A few with chances but SANDY PARADISE is knocking on the door and can gain a deserved victory at the chief expense of Overnight Oats. Mr Squires is another who can have a say on the back of his Southwell victory. The handily-weighted Signcastle City completes the shortlist.
