Forecasts

Druid's Folly (7/4), Another Venture (5/1), Welluptoscratch (6/1), Russian Service (7/1), Cheque En Blanc (7/1), Mixchievous (9/1), Chorus Of Lies (12/1), Justification (14/1), Butney Island (25/1), Captain Felix (33/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about the last start of RUSSIAN SERVICE and he looks capable of recording back-to-back wins for this talented jockey well worth his 7lb claim. Another Venture has been a little unlucky not to win of late and his opening mark looks fair while Justification returned from a lengthy absence last time and has place claims provided he doesn't "bounce". 1. Russian Service 2. Another Venture 3. Justification
