Forecasts

The Geegeez Geegee (10/11), Thady Quil (13/2), Toe To Toe (7/1), Cry Fury (12/1), Alottarain (14/1), Aregra (16/1), Be Seeing You (16/1), Skint (20/1), Romeo Is Bleeding (25/1), Spock (50/1)

Verdict

No shortage of pace on here, with Spock and Aregra both wanting to get on with things early, and that will help recent winner THEGEEGEEZGEEGEE who likes to travel from just off the pace. He found plenty for pressure at Newton Abbot, which hasn't always been the case, and he looks another that Olly Murphy has turned around in quick time. You'd have gone broke backing Toe To Toe and probably torn your hair out in the process as he often looks the winner only to find less than expected when push comes to shove. He can hit the frame, with Cry Fury and Alottarain scrapping it out for minor honours.
  1. The Geegeez Geegee
  2. Toe To Toe
  3. Alottarain
