Forecasts

Bennys Girl (2/1), How's Vienna (5/2), Fitz Volonte (4/1), Whos De Baby (11/2), Walkami (6/1), Glendermot (6/1), Murray Mount (10/1), Heavenly Promise (12/1), Dalton Glance (20/1)

Not a strong race by any means and, though How's Vienna and Bennys Girl arrive here on the back of strong efforts, neither can be relied upon to repeat. Whos De Baby has run well in defeat before and warrants consideration but, with Jonjo O'Neill's yard in such tremendous form, it may pay to take a chance on WALKAMI exploiting a potentially favourable mark on his chasing debut.
