Forecasts

Mercers Court (9/4), The Wicket Chicken (5/2), Kings Temptation (7/2), Desert Retreat (6/1), Moorlands George (6/1), Better Days (10/1), Leg Lock Luke (10/1), Mortens Leam (25/1)

The two last time out winners in this aren’t sure to be able to back up their victories with Leg Lock Luke never having won with Harry Cobden on board and Mercers Court despite being well treated even with a penalty in a much deeper race than he won last time. Moorlands George is an interesting candidate now having had a wind op and he’s on a mark that shouldn’t prove beyond him. Better Days should appreciate the ground but KINGS TEMPTATION has, fall apart started his chasing career well and still looks to have some improvement in him given this stamina test.
