Forecasts

Herm (11/4), Big Amigo (9/2), Garth Rockett (6/1), Critical Thinking (7/1), Fairway To Heaven (8/1), Merdon Castle (8/1), Mercers (10/1), General Gerrard (12/1), Evanescent (14/1), Blackthorn Stick (33/1)

Probably a little bit more strength in depth here than in the first division with a few that are on good marks based on their old form. Herm should have some more scope off this mark given his good recent form and Big Amigo won’t be meeting any progressive sorts in this similar to the one he bumped into last time. Fairway to Heaven is well handicapped although there is a doubt about the trip with Evanescent another who lurks on a good mark. MERDON CASTLE could be the one though given where he is now in the handicap and making his debut for a yard that do well with their recruits from other yards.
