Forecasts
Footpad (4/9), Petit Mouchoir (3/1), Any Second Now (8/1), Demi Sang (16/1), Tycoon Prince (28/1)
There is less to choose between FOOTPAD and Petit Mouchoir than the market suggests. However, the latter's stable have been underachieving lately and his tendency to drop in an occasional error could prove telling. The selection has impressed with his technique over fences and recorded a good time when scoring here last time. He clearly holds Any Second Now on that performance, but that rival still appears to hold stronger claims than Demi Sang and Tycoon Prince.
