Forecasts

Stanage (10/3), Feel The Need (4/1), Ghisa (9/2), Miss Lady Grace (11/2), Charlie Mason (13/2), Fifty Nifty (17/2), Decem Starr (14/1), It Just Takes Time (16/1), Jel Pepper (18/1), King's Call (22/1), Pol Roger (50/1), Skewsby (66/1)

Verdict

FEEL THE NEED wasted no time getting back on the up when second over C&D 2 weeks ago and he'll surely go very close again from 1 lb higher. A well-run 7f on soft ground suits Stanage so he's second choice, ahead of Ghisa.
