Forecasts

Oakley (11/10), Good Boy Bobby (2/1), Cervaro Mix (9/4), Massini Man (9/2), Eceparti (7/1), Lookforarainbow (25/1), Armattiekan (33/1), Arcade Attraction (40/1), Mix Of Clover (50/1), Edabean (100/1), Stoney Cross (150/1), Viva La Vega (150/1)

Not an event that looks to have any considerable depth with the three running under a penalty plus Oakley being the main contenders and the weight he receives plus the experience he’s not had may well see him take another step forward. Of those with a penalty Massini Man looks to have the most to do with his win having come in a weak event at Hereford with that form not being franked as yet. Cervaro Mix did beat a subsequent winner last time but this track/trip does look on the sharp side and GOOD BOY BOBBY is handed a good chance to get back on the winning trail after failing to defy a penalty on testing ground at Ffos Las last time.
