Forecasts

Whoshotwho (11/10), Crixus's Escape (2/1), Hangard (9/2), Espoir Moriviere (12/1), Rowdy Robin (33/1), Memorys (50/1), Frozen Out (50/1), Jiminy Cricket (50/1), Indian Harbour (66/1)

WHOSHOTWHO probably isn't a horse worthy of a rating of 125, but he's shown enough over obstacles in order to be competitive here, and he should benefit from his recent Sedgefield start; his first run for over six months. Crixus's Escape has C&D winning form, but is penalised on his return to the track, whilst Hangard might appreciate a drop back to 2m. The remainder make little appeal, but the unraced Espoir Moriviere is possibly a horse to note in the market.
