Forecasts

Total Assets (2/1), Lochnell (5/2), Andhaar (5/1), Bertalus (8/1), Teddy Tee (9/1), Bescot Springs (11/1)

Verdict

A tricky contest despite the small field. Teddy Tee drops in grade which is helpful, and this could well see him return to form. Total Assets thrives at this track, and is a leading contender, whilst both Lochnell and Bescot Springs are last time out winners and clearly in good form despite their clear preferences for Ayr, and their advancing years respectively. However, aged just eight BERTALUS has time on his side, and with an increasingly fair looking mark, he could spring a surprise if returning a fresh horse from a three month break.
