Forecasts

Good Work (7/4), Moonlighter (7/2), Duc De Beauchene (9/2), Buckhorn George (6/1), Do It For Thy Sen (8/1), Ballinsker (14/1)

GOOD WORK just about matched his French form fitted with a hood when runner-up at Uttoxeter 7 weeks ago and, with plenty of his rivals today arriving with questions to answer, he appeals as the most solid option. Moonlighter comes with risks attached (far from a fluent jumper) but he's clearly on a handy mark so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Ballinsker.
