Forecasts

Lord Murphy (5/4), Mulled Wine (6/1), Caledonian Gold (7/1), Whispered Kiss (8/1), Home Again (8/1), Gavarnie Encore (10/1), Blackthorn Stick (12/1), Caribbean Spring (14/1), Fairy Mist (16/1), Coup De Vent (25/1), General Brook (25/1), Tilly's Bridge (33/1)

Verdict

Lord Murphy is arguably the most progressive horse in this line-up and it would be no surprise to see him atone for an agonising defeat at Wolverhampton last time, albeit off a 4lb lower mark. But, if there is any value here, it may lie with MULLED WINE who was never able to land a blow from the worst of the draw here last time out but who had suggested a win was near with his effort at Kempton the time before. Old stager Fairly Mist also looks feasibly-treated on the evidence of his reappearance whilst Whispered Kiss is also interesting.
  1. Mulled Wine
