Forecasts

Not So Woolly (4/5), Go West (13/8), Jurancon (2/1), Jaipaletemps (8/1), Seymourjohn (16/1), Fortunate Fella (18/1), Super Saint (28/1), Dino Magic (33/1), Cornish Comedy (100/1), The Magus (150/1), Wistmans Prince (150/1), Hector's Hope (250/1)

Verdict

NOT SO WOOLLY has been shaping up promisingly for Joe Tizzard and is fancied to build on his excellent Ascot third (form working out well) and get off the mark. Go West rates the pick of the Paul Nicholls-trained quartet and is next on the list with Jurancon, Jaipaletemps and Seymourjohn all worthy of consideration too.
