Forecasts

Twinjets (5/2), The Kniphand (7/2), Scrum Diddly (9/2), Egbert (13/2), Abuffalosoldier (17/2), Storminhome (9/1), Brandy Mcqueen (12/1), Ree Okka (16/1), Grozni (25/1)

A really competitive novice handicap. TWINJETS was let down by novicey mistakes on chase debut but is a scopey sort and remains one who should do vastly better over fences, especially now having joined a powerful stable. Scrum Diddly gave an above-average prospect plenty to think about at Ascot last time and heads the list of dangers, with Brandy McQueen taken to complete the placings.
