Forecasts

General Jack (9/4), Dan's Dream (11/4), Little Boy Blue (3/1), White Feather (6/1), Roman River (12/1), Javelin (14/1), Grandma Tilly (25/1), Ellen Gates (25/1), Gower Gold (40/1), Ticktocks (50/1)

Not an easy event to sum up and it makes only limited appeal as a betting event with most of the field returning from absences. Little Boy Blue has probably shown the best form but he does have to give weight away to the entire field and General Jack who drops in trip looks as though this could be too sharp for him. White Feather will have to settle better in his races before he’s of interest with Javelin one of the more interesting sorts having shown promise in her only start so far. The Mick Channon team have made a good start to the year and a chance is taken with DAN’S DREAM who may be able to build on her debut run last year.
