Forecasts

Winston's Oath (7/4), County Champs (3/1), No Mean Feat (7/2), Lord Virginia (13/2), Ghost Jury (11/1), Callero (16/1), One For Rian (25/1), Freddie Fleetfoot (40/1), Blue Siam (80/1)

Verdict

COUNTY CHAMPS was in the process of showing the benefit of his recent stable debut when departing here last month, likely to have won but for falling 2 out, and he can gain compensation this time around. No Mean Feat finally got off the mark at this course recently and is feared most, ahead of Winston's Oath.
