Forecasts

Not Another Muddle (5/4), Diamond Rock (2/1), Vocaliser (5/1), Bestwork (8/1), Ruby Rambler (20/1), Glance Back (25/1), Skipping On (66/1)

Diamond Rock and Vocaliser met here last month with the latter coming out on top. It could be a similar story this time with the latter proven on the ground and having won with a bit in hand. NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE arrives having beaten Fixe La Cap at Plumpton. He was meeting that rival on 19b worse terms than when they clashed in the Imperial Cup and beat him comfortably. Although the form cannot be taken at face value, the handicapper has left him totally untouched and that generosity makes him an attractive proposition.
