Forecasts

Lamb Or Cod (5/2), Boric (4/1), Goodtoknow (9/2), Total Assets (6/1), Buachaill Alainn (9/1), Seldom Inn (9/1), Gonalston Cloud (10/1), Silver Man (12/1)

The marathon trip will give us enough time to appreciate these veterans although a few of them might take a little bit of encouragement such as Seldom Inn and Buachaill Alainn. Last year’s winner Silver Man takes the same route here but doesn’t arrive in the same form while this track may prove a little sharp for the likeable Gonalston Cloud. LAMB AND COD has been competitive off much higher marks in the past and with the Hobbs team now firing he’s taken to regain the winning thread. Goodtoknow deserves to win something like this especially after he was a little unfortunate at Ludlow last time having got his career back on track. Boric looks the best of the Waugh duo.
