Forecasts

Scribner Creek (2/1), Samphire Coast (11/4), Almanack (7/2), Tee It Up Tommo (5/1), Hold Firm (10/1), Andalusite (12/1), Russian Ranger (12/1), Foie Gras (14/1), Brasted (20/1), Captain Peaky (25/1), Shearian (25/1)

Scribner Creek is clearly on the upgrade for his in form yard. The likelihood of a decent pace will be an advantage and he is hard to overlook. Brasted, Hold Firm, Foie Gras and Samphire Coast all do well over this C&D but ALMANACK appeals as the most likely winner. He exploited a lenient turf mark and a well judged ride to land a ladies race last time. A subsequent winner has come out of the race and he is well weighted with Foie Gras on running here in March.
