Forecasts

Dorking Cock (5/2), Weakfield (4/1), Well Joey (5/1), Tokaramore (6/1), Stoney Rover (17/2), Raecius Felix (11/1), Ain't My Fault (12/1), Honourmission (18/1), Commanding Spirit (40/1), Ripstick (50/1)

A number of those declared are thought capable of winning races over fences in the north with the likes of Raecius Felix (Ruth Jefferson), Stoney Rover (Katie Scott) and Ain't My Fault (Lucinda Russell) all mildly interesting for the future. Of those with more recent course form, Tokaramore has been clobbered with a 10lb rise (race somewhat fell apart) and the suspicion is that she'll be vulnerable for Iain Jardine. Furthermore, Well Joey is expected to be hard pushed to land a notable four-timer. Therefore, this could lie between the chasing newcomers DORKING COCK and Weakfield, with the former narrowly preferred.
