Forecasts

Wholelotofbusiness (3/1), Cappa Hill (4/1), Playtime (5/1), Becasse (6/1), Impero (7/1), Paul's Dream (8/1), Ragmans Corner (9/1), Fast Felix (18/1), Walhaan (22/1), Icare Desbois (33/1)

Verdict

BECASSE shaped well on first outing for current connections after 17 months off when second in a 2m Wexford handicap in March and is very much one to be interested in with further improvement likely. C&D winner Wholelotofbusiness had been progressing well in the autumn and is likely to be back to his best returning to a more suitable trip with a recent outing under his belt. Playtime isn't one to dismiss lightly back in a less competitive affair.
