Forecasts
Michael's Mount (1/5), Veiled Secret (9/2), Never A Word (14/1), Come On Charlie (20/1), Helf (66/1), Temir Kazyk (66/1), D'waterside (100/1)
A very modest start to proceedings where the standard is very much set by MICHAEL'S MOUNT, who looks to have been found a good opportunity to defy a penalty and record another win. Never A Word raised an eyebrow or two with a decent effort at big odds on his debut and he looks the most plausible challenger to the selection on that evidence, with Veiled Secret also one with frame claims. Improvement from Come On Charlie, given his trainer/jockey combo, cannot be ruled out.
