Forecasts

Mr Griffiths (4/11), Scairp Dubh (6/1), Highbury Hill (8/1), Jonquilla (14/1), Les's Destiny Star (16/1), Geordie Night (18/1), Be The Difference (20/1), Swift Jet (22/1), Star Vantage (25/1), Pooroldmackley (40/1)

Verdict

Officially 12 lb 'well-in' after routing the opposition at Warwick last week, MR GRIFFITHS is hard to oppose. Indeed, a reproduction of that would almost certainly be good enough but it's highly likely that this lightly raced and progressive 6-y-o is capable of better still. Scairp Dubh is also unpenalised for his recent Carlisle success (due to go up 5 lb for that) and he is clear second choice ahead of handicap debutant Les's Destiny Star.

  1. MR GRIFFITHS (FR)
  2. SCAIRP DUBH
  3. LES'S DESTINY STAR (IRE)
