Forecasts

Mothill (9/4), Captain Tom Cat (9/4), Shallow River (3/1), Blue Shark (5/1), Salley Gardens (15/2), McGowan's Pass (9/1), Montgomery (9/1)

A few with chances but BLUE SHARK made it six victories from his last seven outings at Southwell last month and is hard to side against. Handicap debutant Montgomery and the in-form Mothill rate the chief threats and can chase home Jonjo O'Neill's prolific winner in that order.
