Forecasts

The Grafter (5/2), Travis Wheatley (10/3), Bathgate (7/2), Rewired (7/1), Fostered Phil (15/2), Old But Gold (8/1), Galahad Threepwood (10/1), Russian Virtue (20/1), Rory The Cat (25/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to BATHGATE, who has been at the top of his game of late and appears to still be on a competitive mark judged on his latest effort at Catterick. Rory The Cat has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be a big threat if able to get back on track. The lightly-raced veteran Fostered Phil commands respect on the back of an encouraging comeback run at Musselburgh, while handicap debutants Old But Gold and Travis Wheatley both need a second look in the betting.
