Forecasts
Oishin (3/1), Take A Break (9/2), Mash Potato (5/1), Knocknamona (13/2), Call The Cops (7/1), Mighty Whitey (10/1), Dakota Grey (10/1), Mrs Grass (18/1), Magnum (25/1)
Another largely unconvincing collection of handicappers which are headed by the free-falling 2015 Pertemps Hurdle winner Call The Cops. He has been woeful, both prior to, and since leaving the care of Nicky Henderson and appears to have totally lost the passion for racing. Maurice Barnes has enjoyed a profitable 2017 at Hexham, and whilst there is very little of Oishin, he won on soft ground at Newcastle in December and is feasibly treated if fully tuned up on his return. However, in a race where nothing makes any significant appeal DAKOTA GREY is a tentative selection. His recent form figures are uninspiring, but perhaps not as bad as they appear, and some hope remains that the application of the hood for the first time will help him to settle, and if doing so, a reduced mark of 110 could well prove to be a gift.
