Forecasts

Doing Fine (9/2), Vyta Du Roc (6/1), The Druids Nephew (6/1), Rock The Kasbah (8/1), Sugar Baron (8/1), The Young Master (8/1), Present Man (12/1), Benbens (14/1), Whats Happening (14/1), Just A Par (16/1), Theatre Guide (20/1), Le Reve (33/1), Henllan Harri (40/1)

Verdict

He's obvious, but that chance of DOING FINE is outstanding and the handicapper would give him another 8lb to carry if he could. Everything looks in place for a big run and if avoiding the traffic as he makes his way through the field, will take plenty of beating. Whats Happening is on a good mark if you forgive his run in the Kim Muir and may bounce back. The Young Master gives Neil Mulholland a strong hand here, along with the frustrating-yet-talented The Druids Nephew, and they are both capable of picking some prizes up. Another good run from Just A Par wouldn't surprise.
  1. Doing Fine
  2. Whats Happening
  3. The Young Master
