Forecasts

Takingrisks (7/4), Courtown Oscar (15/8), No No Mac (7/2), Silver Tassie (8/1), Double Whammy (16/1)

Verdict

No No Mac has been consistent and should again go well on this return to 3m, though it won't be easy to defy another 5lb rise and TAKINGRISKS is suggested. Up just 2lb for his recent Kelso win, he can bridge that gap over a trip similar to which he won over hurdles. Courtown Oscar could be a player if he completes.
