Forecasts

Agentleman (5/2), Miss Conway (11/4), Dica (9/1), Miss Mackie (9/1), My Idea (12/1), Rhythm Of Sound (12/1), Mr Witmore (16/1), Morning Time (16/1), Gleann Na Ndochais (20/1), Shine Away (25/1), Toledo Gold (28/1), The Shepherd King (33/1)

Verdict

There’s no doubt that Agentleman in a new headgear combination and with a very promising conditional taking the ride has the ability to win a low-grade contest like this but his response to pressure the last twice has been very disappointing. Miss Mackie managed to defeat a couple of these last time out at Cartmel with Dica the principal victim but that one may be able to turn around that form over shorter. In a race full of questionable types it may be best to rely on the consistency of course specialist MISS CONWAY who should be able to cope with a 7lb rise in the weights having fewer doubts about her than most.
  1. Miss Conway
  2. Agentleman
  3. Dica
