Forecasts

Samuel Jackson (5/2), Early Retirement (3/1), Billy Bronco (5/1), Same Circus (11/2), Achille (6/1), Sparkling River (10/1), Justforjames (28/1)

An interesting handicap chase. Money for Achille or Billy Bronco would probably be significant, while Samuel Jackson may be able to improve for his reappearance and go close. Sparkling River can't be ruled out, but Same Circus needs to show us more than she has to win from this mark. The suggestion, therefore, is EARLY RETIREMENT who, like many of his trainer's inmates, improved for jumping a fence last time, and he is taken to go one better today.
