Forecasts

Harlington (11/4), Magic Rascal (4/1), Ready Or Nott (11/2), Standbackandlook (8/1), Dibble Dabble (17/2), Letmebetheboss (17/2), Rasmah (16/1), Azure Stage (16/1), Hot Patootie (25/1), Old Bailey (25/1), Subaltern (28/1), Daylight Ransom (66/1), Silver Shamrock (66/1)

Quite a few of these look pretty limited and MAGIC RASCAL could be the way to go. He's clearly not the most straightforward (starts slowly/races keenly) but has shown enough ability all the while to think he can win a race like this. Harlington is a player, while Hot Patootie could do better now handicapping at such a low level.
