Addosh^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 56| D

Forecasts

Trojan Sun (9/4), Curran (11/4), Tailorman (5/1), Marbuzet (7/1), Show No Fear (9/1), Addosh (9/1), Capone (14/1), Simiyann (16/1), Model Approach (33/1)

MARBUZET arrives in top form and can quickly gain compensation for his unlucky-in-running second at Catterick last time out. Show No Fear is weighted to go well and next on the list ahead of Curran, Trojan Sun and Addosh.
