Forecasts

Pookie Pekan (4/6), Blakerigg (7/4), Mahlerdramatic (7/2), Houndscourt (11/2), Apache Pilot (11/1), Accessallareas (33/1)

Houndscourt has chances if he fancies it, but he has as many non-going days as he does good ones, and is very risky. Preference is for the two at the top of the handicap, with the unexposed BLAKERIGG just getting the vote over Pookie Pekan. Both should be capable of better this season, but Blakerigg looked a different horse after a wind op last time and is taken to follow up.
