Forecasts

Best Boy Barney (6/4), The Mythologist (9/4), Between The Waters (7/2), Definite Ridge (9/2), Bredon Hill Lad (6/1), Mrsrobin (7/1)

Best Boy Barney will try and shake these off from the front and as long as he can stave off the attentions of Bredon Hill Lad early, he will have his chance of doing so. However, this looks a terrific chance for THE MYTHOLOGIST to score, with both trip and ground fine, and the fact he's already got entries for next week suggests they will be looking to win here and turn him out under a penalty. Definite Ridge also has an entry for next week and could be the fly in the ointment, with the return to fences likely to show him in a better light.
