Forecasts

Land Of Vic (11/4), Jester Jet (7/2), Lets Go Dutchess (4/1), Gold Chain (6/1), River Icon (8/1), Lilywhite Gesture (8/1), Midnight Walk (10/1), Heaven Scent (25/1)

Verdict

Not an easy contest to finish on, and you can make a case out for plenty of these. Heaven Scent will ensure a decent gallop but she's not the most resolute once tackled, and she'll be doing well to keep it up all the way. LAND OF VIC could be the one after an encouraging effort at Uttoxeter last time and she's certainly well enough handicapped to win. Jester Jet has been transformed by the move to Tom Lacey and may not be done with yet. Let's Go Dutchess is the very epitome of consistency and should once again hit the frame.
