Forecasts

Jonagold (7/4), Speed Demon (3/1), Whos De Baby (4/1), Porters Lane (4/1), West Class (6/1), Monte Wildhorn (7/1), Get Back To Me (11/1), High Counsel (14/1)

A race with slight historical advantage for those ridden prominently or close to the pace, which brings in front-runner WHO'S DA BABY, who made all, getting off the mark in a Bangor-On-Dee over 2m4¼L on good ground, blinkers applied once again, which looks the key. Jonagold and High Councel (doubtful) could be at the head of the following pack. With the Dan Skelton stable in good form, Speed Demon can continue his improvement for his new yard on his third start for new connections.
