Forecasts

Nicholas T (10/3), Sophie P (4/1), Candelisa (9/2), Spring Offensive (11/2), Lat Hawill (11/2), Finn Class (8/1), War Department (12/1), Kentuckyconnection (14/1), Lavetta (20/1)

Top to bottom there is only 7lb between the field so the handicap is rather compressed with the top weight Sophie P so 12lb below the ceiling mark for this race. She should go well here on a track that suits her but others may just have the edge on her here. One of the most interesting horses would be War Department if he reproduces his Newcastle/York form over this mile trip. Spring Offensive is the solid one in the race but may be held off this mark but in the end the C&D form of NICHOLAS T gives him the edge as long as he gets a good pace to aim at.
