Forecasts

Willaston (6/4), Jersey Wonder (3/1), Captain Tom Cat (10/3), Faron (4/1), Coolbane Boy (6/1), Dr Sanderson (10/1)

Quite a useful handicap. WILLASTON gets the nod to build on a promising first run for Mark Walford. Market confidence behind the returning Captain Tom Cat would make him a possible big threat as he's rated 15 lb lower over hurdles than fences.
