Forecasts

I'm Always Trying (1/1), Whatthebutlersaw (10/3), Sensible Friend (9/2), Get Home Now (12/1), The Detainee (14/1), Royal Irish Hussar (20/1), Jalingo (25/1)

I'm Always Trying is better than his last run indicates but that performance still casts a shadow of doubt and WHATTHEBUTLERSAW is a more appealing proposition. The nine-year-old needs time between races and emerged with credit on his reappearance when finding an improving rival too good and finishing clear of the third. The Detainee and Sensible Friend are weighted to go close but both need to improve their jumping.
