Forecasts

Gunnery (2/1), Twin Star (3/1), Yaa Salaam (4/1), The Twisler (10/1), Shanroe Tic Tec (10/1), Local Affair (12/1), Christopher Robin (16/1), Val Mome (25/1), Zig Zag (25/1), Reverend Jacobs (33/1), Successor (40/1), Clemento (50/1)

Gunnery will struggle until curbing his enthusiasm, while the improving Reverend Jacobs and Val Mome will probably win a similar handicap in the near future for their respective trainers. However, this can go the way of a handicap debutant with both Twin Star (Noel Williams) and YAA SALAAM (David Pipe) somewhat intriguing individuals. The selection was a talented Flat performer in Germany, and he ran his best race over hurdles to date (post wind surgery) when runner-up to Hold That Taught at Lingfield (2m, heavy) six weeks ago. In newly applied cheekpieces he's preferred to the Leighton Aspell-ridden runner.
