Forecasts

Zoulu Warrior (3/1), No Knee Never (11/2), Angel Of England (6/1), Up The Monk (7/1), Rambuso Creek (10/1), Ishe Worth Agamble (10/1), Showtime Mahomes (12/1), Minnesota Lad (14/1), Asian Journey (14/1), Fort Augustus (14/1), Dark Dreamer (20/1), Walking On Clouds (20/1), Thanks Dad (25/1)

Verdict

James Owen's new recruit NO KNEE NEVER took a big step forward when going in at Wolverhampton recently and can make light of a 5 lb penalty to thwart Fort Augustus who is fancied to build on his debut ninth for Charlie Wallis here. Both Zoulu Warrior and Asian Journey can have a say too in this open-looking handicap.
