Forecasts

Trojan Truth (3/1), Douglas Dc (10/3), This Time Maybe (7/2), Sea Master (9/2), Wild Nephin (15/2), Marinakis (9/1), Autumn's Breeze (10/1), Fen Tiger (16/1), Trackman (20/1)

TROJAN TRUTH won back to back last season and can follow up from Windsor after a 3 lb rise. Wild Nephin struck over hurdles when last seen and is on a very tempting mark for his handicap debut on the level. Sea Master is another to consider on his second run for Ruth Carr.
