Forecasts

Working Title (15/8), Fieldsofsilk (2/1), Yourholidayisover (5/1), Lake Chapala (6/1), Ballyegan (10/1), No No Cardinal (12/1), Free World (16/1), All But Grey (33/1)

Verdict

Working Title came back from a long layoff to score at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Concerns as to how he will come out of that run ensure preference is for LAKE CHAPALA who won at Musselburgh two starts ago and lost little caste in a Ffos Las defeat that has worked out well since. Fieldsofsilk made a good start to chasing at Carlisle and is entitled to build on that while the consistent Yourholidayisover is always likely to fill a place. 1. Lake Chapala 2. Fieldsofsilk 3. Yourholidayisover
