Forecasts

Verdict

SILLY MONGOOSE is weighted to resume winning ways under a good-value claimer. He gets the nod over Ripsnorter, who is feared if building on his Downpatrick win at the second attempt. There's plenty of pace on paper, which could bring Private Policy and Soldier Saint into the mix, too.
