Forecasts

Whynotnowroy (5/4), Tara Iti (7/1), Trevor's Lad (7/1), Macari (15/2), Mutley Crew (17/2), Eliza Dolittle (10/1), Red Windsor (10/1), Onnaroll (28/1), Simon The Seagull (50/1), Feach Amach (66/1), Jewel Eyed Judy (80/1)

Verdict

WHYNOTNOWROY made a promising start for Neil Mulholland when runner-up at Fontwell last month and is weighted to go one better here. Mutley Crew looked an improved model when going in at the same track in October and is feared most after a break, while course winner Tara Iti and the lightly-raced Trevor's Lad can also have a say.

  1. Whynotnowroy5/4
