Forecasts

Hochfeld (9/4), Blakeney Point (11/2), Theydon Grey (11/2), Sporting Times (11/2), Jaameh (8/1), Reshoun (9/1), Kajaki (10/1), Cleonte (16/1), Goldmember (20/1), Codeshare (20/1)

Verdict

Theydon Grey will enjoy the drying ground here and gets the services of useful 5lb claimer Georgia Cox while Kajaki may do better returned to faster ground. However, it may be worth siding with HOCHFIELD who ran a creditable race in defeat last time when soft ground wouldn't have been ideal and he's still relatively unexposed.
