Forecasts

Spiculas (9/4), Robin Of Locksley (9/4), Mahlerdramatic (11/1), Endless Credit (11/1), Tonto's Spirit (12/1), Hartside (12/1), Our Thomas (14/1), Prince Khurram (14/1), Vodka Wells (16/1), Road To Rome (33/1)

Verdict

A compact handicap with the entire field separated by just 9lb top to bottom. SPICULAS should come on enormously for the return to the track last time. He travelled like a good horse for the majority of that contest, and was possibly only undone for fitness late in the race. He might not want this to develop into a slog (some rain is forecast), but is the selection assuming the ground is no worse than soft. Mahlerdramatic was a shade disappointing last time over C&D, but could do better now switched to handicapping, whilst Hartside is a capable performer on his day and with his mark beginning to relent has scope to turn his Wetherby Boxing Day form with Endless Credit around and could run into a place at decent odds. 1. Spiculas 2. Hartside 3. Mahlerdramatic
