Forecasts

Buckled (4/1), The Doorman (9/2), Landecker (11/2), Mondlicht (6/1), Lough Derg Jewel (13/2), Too Many Chiefs (12/1), Maggie Blue (12/1), Forty Crown (12/1), Minnie Milan (14/1), Maraweh (16/1), Brackenmoss Rory (18/1), Hartforth (33/1)

None of these have what you would call cast-iron profiles but it should be a competitive heat all the same although it’s one to be far from confident about. Landecker is a hard one to trust but does love it around here while a group of Lough Derg Jewel, Buckled and Mondlicht are hard to rule out on their recent form. THE DOORMAN has often flattered to deceive but off a mark such as this he should be able to go close and is given the overall call in a tricky opener.
