Forecasts

Romella (9/4), Arthur's Victory (3/1), Willywampus (16/5), Keyser Smokesy (11/2), Marlpark (17/2), San Aer (10/1), Thats All (10/1), Buttoned Up (14/1), Colourful Lil (33/1), Tasmanian Girl (50/1)

A pretty moderate handicap and it could be worth chancing WILLYWAMPUS who won a handicap chase here in December and returns from a lower hurdles mark. Romella could bounce back and take a hand, while Arthur's Victory is another to consider.
