Forecasts

Remastered (3/1), Riders Onthe Storm (3/1), Early Doors (7/2), Getaway John (8/1), Stooshie (8/1), Cask Mate (12/1), Frank Wilde (12/1), King Jeremy (14/1), Officers Mess (20/1), Smartiepants (50/1), Cheval Place (66/1)

The formbook is lacking greatly for this finale, with only two of the 11 declared runners having been seen in public before. Of those, Riders Onthe Storm sets only a modest target to aim at for the newcomers. The market should ultimately serve as the best guide but Stooshie looks the more likely candidate from two out of the Elliott team. A chance is taken on EARLY DOORS however given that the trainer/jockey have already combined to good effect since the turn of the year. Frank Wilde is another worth keeping an eye on. 1.
