Forecasts

Mr Griffiths (6/4), Pipers Cross (10/3), Sweet Magic (9/2), Kells Priory (5/1), Scudamore (15/2), Wot You Wearing (22/1)

MR GRIFFITHS looked an improved model sent handicapping for the first time when going in at Fontwell and can make light of a 6 lb rise in the weights here. Sedgefield runner-up Scudamore appeals as the one to chase him home, although Olly Murphy's new recruit Kells Priory is worth a market check and in-form duo Pipers Cross and Sweet Magic command respect too.
