Forecasts

Minella Study (13/8), Trojan Sun (9/5), Alnayef (5/1), Spooky Wooky (13/2), Jubilee Party (10/1), Tokyo Bay (25/1), Glasses Up (25/1), Show No Fear (28/1), Star Of Markinch (40/1), Ebendi (150/1)

SPOOKY WOOKY looked suited to an increased test of stamina when chasing home a next-time-out winner over 15f at Ayr last time and is given a chance to build on that promise. Minella Study is an interesting new recruit for Adam Nicol and is second choice ahead of Jim Goldie pair Alnayef and Trojan Sun.
