Forecasts

Midnight Cowboy (2/1), Cut The Corner (4/1), Reilly's Minor (5/1), Petrou (6/1), Newton Geronimo (13/2), Degooch (8/1), One Term (9/1), Marquis Of Carabas (16/1)

Reilly's Minor might be allowed an easy time of it on the front end but he comes with all sorts of risks after a couple of mediocre efforts, and preference is for MIDNIGHT COWBOY . His third to Alcala got a boost when that one took a Listed event at Market Rasen next time and from the same mark, may be able to get back on the winning trail. Degooch did it well last time but a hefty rise in the weights demands more today. He may find the selection that bit better handicapped. Cut The Corner and the enigmatic Newton Geronimo are others to consider.
