Forecasts

Jacob Black (11/8), Mywayistheonlyway (11/4), Zeshov (4/1), Chinese Spirit (13/2), Lucky Violet (8/1), Corked (14/1), Mamdood (22/1), Cyflymder (66/1)

Verdict

Jacob Black has certainly been rejuvenated since returning to the Dalgleish yard but that yard haven’t been firing on all cylinders for much of the year and it may well be that he’s better over 7f than this mile. Mywayistheonlyway needs a strongly run race to be seen at his best as does CHINESE SPIRIT who looks to be coming to the boil now and is off a mark just 1lb above his last winning one. Lucky Violet would be a welcome winner for her yard but she’s better at 7f with Zeshov another to throw in the mix back at a C&D where he is unbeaten.
