Black Corton (10/11), Forever Field (13/8), Newton Geronimo (6/1), Valshan Time (150/1), Finch Flyer (150/1)

The first thing to say about this card is that the ground conditions may well change before race time, with heavy showers predicted through the night and into the morning. Caution is advised if placing bets early. BLACK CORTON makes the most appeal of those with form, having jumped well in the main at Fontwell and is probably a bit more adaptable as regards ground conditions than his main two rivals, Forever Field and Newton Geronimo, both of whom have their quirks. Forever Field holds a solid chance at the weights but his resolution is now in question. Newton Geronimo needs to behave himself at the start.
