Forecasts

The Last But One (10/11), Seefood (9/4), Champagne West (4/1), Mantou (20/1), Irish Thistle (100/1)

At his best, Champagne West would be far too good for this field, but he has not won when fresh for a long time and is taken on on this stable debut. The Last But One arrives in cracking form from point-to-points and is probably the obvious choice here, with Will Biddick assigned, but we'll take a chance on SEEFOOD, who is in good hands and receives weight from that pair. He is taken to make a winning stable debut.
