Forecasts

King's Wharf (9/4), Oliver's Gold (3/1), Witness In Court (4/1), Ifandbutwhynot (11/2), Avidity (13/2), Full Shift (11/1)

Verdict

A small field does not make this much easier to solve for punters, with WITNESS IN COURT and Ifandbutwhynot both used to running in better company, Full Shift a possible after a change of scenery and Oliver's Gold being good at backing up a win and still on a competitive mark. However, the Donald McCain-trained joint topweight usually thrives at this time of year and only last summer was winning from a much higher mark, so he really ought to be capable of returning to pole position.
