Forecasts

Sociologist (10/3), Shrewd Approach (4/1), Groundnut (4/1), Rastacap (6/1), Rivas Rob Roy (7/1), Chess Move (7/1), Downtown Mombasa (17/2)

Verdict

Not a particularly easy contest to get a handle on although Rastacap should appreciate being back against her own age group but probably needs some help with her mark. Sociologist needs to transfer his improved form last time onto turf dropping back in trip while Chess Move is another who looks to need some help from the handicapper. Downtown Mombasa hasn’t so far lived up to her pedigree but entering handicap company may well see her in a better light. SHREWD APPROACH was disappointing last time but she did win twice last year and has shown that she can handle a soft surface and she may be able to bounce back for a yard that place their horses well.
