Forecasts

Felix Mendelssohn (11/4), Lycidas (11/4), Spin The Coin (11/4), Lovely Schtuff (7/2), Braddan Head (10/1)

This looks to revolve around the top three on the racecard and a chance is taken on SPIN THE COIN on his chase debut. There was much to like about his return from a wind op to win in December, and another break going into this is of no concern. Lycidas has previously had the ability to win a race like this, but he has to prove he retains that, and although it was a weak race he won on his chase debut, Felix Mendelssohn can't be ruled out from 9lb higher this time.
