Forecasts

Tasever (9/4), Powerful Response (9/2), Mercurius Power (11/2), Volenti (6/1), Falcon Nine (15/2), Minshaar (8/1), The Cookstown Cafu (17/2), Pop Favorite (25/1), Shifter (100/1)

Verdict

A very open handicap but multiple C&D scorer VOLENTI has slipped back down to a winning mark so looks the way to go. Course specialist Pop Favorite is next on the list on the back of a good C&D second last time, with Powerful Response, Tasever and Mercurius Power all firmly in the picture too.

  1. Volenti6/1
  2. Pop Favorite25/1
  3. Powerful Response9/2
