Forecasts

Easyrun De Vassy (7/4), Mister Murchan (9/2), Vamanos (6/1), Caspers Court (15/2), Cushuish (17/2), Three Bullet Gate (16/1), Gang Warfare (16/1), Deputy Jones (20/1), Theatre Mix (20/1), Primal Focus (20/1), Ekayburg (25/1)

Verdict

Cushuish was a bridesmaid over C&D on seasonal bow and is respected despite being rated 2lb higher in a stronger race now. Deputy Jones may find this trip more to his liking with a run behind, while Theatre Mix and Caspers Court are possible improvers. This trip could bring improvement from Easyrun De Vassy on handicap debut but top-weight VAMANOS did little wrong at Kelso last time in a novices' hurdle and could be up to opening his account with the champion jockey taking over back in a handicap and better ground no concern.
  1. Vamanos
  2. Deputy Jones
  3. Easyrun De Vassy
