Forecasts

Minstrel Royal (6/4), Serenity Now (7/4), Nautical Nitwit (2/1), Occasionally Yours (9/4), Cliffside Park (9/4)

There many only be a few in this, but it is a race that could go several ways. Nautical Nitwit is the class horse in the field and it is not hard to envisage him having too much for his opponents, but his stablemate MINSTREL ROYAL races over his optimum trip, has the stable's useful claimer Nathan Moscrop up and looks to be on a handy mark, so he is the suggestion. Cliffside Park looks an obvious danger, while Serenity Now is not ruled out despite appearing to have a few pounds to find if the others perform like they can.
