Forecasts

Mr Mcguiness (4/1), Star Foot (5/1), Beau Du Brizais (6/1), Cottersrock (13/2), Doubly Clever (7/1), Western Miller (7/1), Mr Shantu (11/1), Sky Khan (12/1), Mile House (16/1)

Western Miller is likely to have it all to himself up front, but he was easily brushed aside last time and that's a concern again here. With doubts about so many of these, the reliable MR MCGUINESS gets the vote as he's once again got his conditions and simply doesn;t know how to run a poor one. Doubly Clever found soft ground and the extended trip against him last time but this is more up his street and he can prove the danger. Sky Khan would have these for breakfast on the best of his form and any money for him should be noted.
