Forecasts

Matchaway (3/1), Hint Of Mint (7/2), Daklondike (7/2), Sigurd (13/2), Caid Du Lin (15/2), Marquis Of Carabas (15/2), Bertimont (8/1), Go Long (12/1), Aldeburgh (33/1)

Verdict

HINT OF MINT can continue his trainers good run of form (31% strike rate of late) by following up his odds-on success here in december. Matchaway is another to win on his latest outing and he is a rare runner at this venue for his trainer (sole runner was a winner) and should also be their at the business end of the race assuming the blinkers work for a second time while Daklondike can also go well for his local yard. 1. Hint Of Mint 2. Matchaway 3. Daklondike
